Here are more photos from the museum in Hamilton.

Have a great day!

Mister Wonderful and I visited the Quilt Museum in Hamilton, Missouri when we went to Missouri Star.

It was wonderful! I took a lot of photos, so I’ll share in several posts. Look at these feed sacks with the labels still attached!

The quilting on this next quilt was unbelievable.

Have a great day!

I’ve managed to make a few blocks. They are very easy and stitch up quickly.

I’m not sure how I will set them yet.

But I have time to figure that out. 30 blocks to go.

Have a great day!

EAA stands for the Experimental Aircraft Association. Each year, they host a huge fly-in in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. And every single year, growing up, that was our family vacation. I always wanted to be a wing walker.

While visiting my sister and BIL, we went to the EAA museum. Boy, did that bring back memories! My sister and I had to sit in this tiny helicopter. We weren’t sure we could get back out, especially since we were laughing so hard!

I always loved the Corsairs.

Had to take my chance to sit in this cockpit, even though I’m pretty sure it was set up for kids.

It is an amazing place. I loved it so much!

This is my BIL and Mr. Wonderful. We went here and they had the best food! Also, we’ve always loved the movie, What About Bob?

We stocked up on cheese while in Wisconsin. And I almost bought this tshirt. I should have.

If you know, you know. 😂

Have a great day!

Mister and I were able to take a lovely bike ride with my brother in Northern Wisconsin.

My brother now has my dad’s bike. I sat on it, but didn’t ride it. It is huge so I was a bit intimidated.

This is an older photo of my brother on his first bike.

I saw this article in a scrapbook while visiting my mom. This is my uncle.

My cousin shared this photo from a shirt from my Uncle’s shop.

Here is my uncle in his younger days.

And my dad, reunited with his first bike, a 1948 Harley.

You’ve seen this before, me and Daughter #2.

My dad on his last bike, same one my brother now owns, a Honda Shadow.

Have a great day!

I still love this quilt! I hope you enjoy looking back at this one. Katy

Finish It Up Friday ~ Vintage Stars

Posted on May 15, 2020 by katyquilts

This came together so quickly! It was the perfect setting for my swap stars.

I changed mine up a bit, using the blue for the setting triangles.

I wish I had quilted the hanging diamonds closer, but I can live with it.

I bought this toile back when we lived in France in the late 1990s.

The rest of these photos show the quilt after washing.

And here it is hanging in my family room. The stars finish at 6 inches and the quilt finished at 50 by 60 inches.

Have a great day

I messed up the order when sewing these wedges, but I decided to leave it.

The center hole was going to be too big though. That had to be fixed. I made a freezer paper template to make the circle, pressed the edges under and top stitched it to the main part. I did cut out the center circle first.

And now the quilting is in progress.

I’m just doing a simple meander.

Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful surprised me with a side trip on our journey!

Yes! Missouri Star Quilt Company wasn’t even on my radar for this trip, but he remembered!

It’s such a fun place to look around.

Are you wondering what I bought?

I had to grab this since it was the daily deal.

A bit of yardage.

Some lovely fat quarters.

And this pretty blue bit.

I’ll share more soon. Have a great day!

I actually made this project a few months back and saved it to post when we were on the road. So, no, we aren’t back in AZ yet!

I picked up these Christmas fabrics at Goodwill. I had gotten rid of all of mine and then Daughter #2 asked for a tree skirt. This was before Christmas and I didn’t get around to it.

I decided to finally get going on this. I’m using this ruler that I’ve had for ages.

I cut a bunch of wedges.

And started laying them out.

I’m just figuring this out as I go. I don’t have a pattern, just the wedge ruler.

Wish me luck!
