Three Dudes Quilt in Missouri Star Style

I have been chomping at the bit to do something

 with

 these new strip sets we just brought in.

The colors in this set are so striking with some black yardage.

 


I knew exactly what I was going to do with them.


The Three Dudes Quilt Shop in Arizona originally made this pattern

but

Jenny Doan of Missouri Star 

and

 The Man Quilter - Rob Appell


Made a video to demonstrate just how easy it really is!!

Just click on the video about to get the pattern. 

I quickly cracked this pack of strips 

and 

began arranging in to sets of dark and lights. 

Sewed them together and cut them to size to be resewn together.

It gives you a couple of colorways for each set.


They are stacked in opposite directions and sewn together


And cut again diagonally in both directions.


Simple...Then you have a mess of blocks to play with.

Actually I had started on my design floor
but
The grandpup is over and he is a galooop.

A tank on 4 legs......

Bull in a china shop....

You get the idea!


The grandkids can't come over in lockdown
but 
no rules around pooches.

This has forced me to FINALLY put up my design WALL


The possibilities are endless!!


I will be here a while...


as I decide placement of these blocks.


To be continued....

2018 Minot Quilt Show Treasures

We have been talking about these wool pressing pads...

Guess what we found at the show!!

Got to love Grubers Quilt Shop


 from Minnesota



Lucy thinks it's pretty sweet...


Stocked up on some pinks.....

2 FQ for 2$!!!



I have had my eye on Ice Castles by Quiltworx for awhile now....


Yup....had to buy it!!

Got me some HomeGrown fabric....

 I see a new rug in it's future!!


These needle threaders were a super find!!

The nose is a threader with a tiny hook and the neck is a cutter...


My industrial machine does not have a needle threader and this worked fabulous!!

We hit up Joann's Fabrics

That was a mistake!!

My dear friend, Trudi introduced me to the possibilities in Duck cloth


Like I needed to fall in love with more inspiration!!!

We got some free patterns in our gift bags from the show.

I think the back pack will be cute in this Mandela fabric!!


It was Minot's 25th Anniversary Quilt Show.

These girls work so hard!!!

Every time we sat down to eat we were given a gift....

This little doll was on a water bottle....


  A folded star...


An Oil pen for our machines....


A mouse pin cushion...


A mason jar solar light....



There were 600 door prizes 
which
 our gang was very lucky in winning a ton of things!!

(This GANG is something to fear....You WILL be sewing if you hang with us)

Like this thread...


Coordinating fabric from Pineapple Fabrics


A set of panels for Halloween bags....


which I whipped up yesterday....


Didn't need these sitting in the pile!!!

Fat quarters...


They always have a flea market 
where
 I seem to be attracted to random ribbon and elastics!!


If you have never experienced this show...it is so worth the effort!!

They have a meal package for 80$ which is supper on Friday to lunch on Sunday!!

Next year will be The Man Sewer - Rob Appell


Our rooms are booked!!

Who needs a therapist when you have this kind of fun...
