Yesterday, Lori from
Humble Quilts came to give a presentation on seasonal quilts at my quilt guild, Piecemakers, in McMinnville, OR! We were thrilled to have her there!

I first became acquainted with Lori through blogging, probably followed a link from someone else's blog and this was about around 2009 or so. I arranged to meet her in 2010 when we were visiting my BIL, who lives close to her. I also have seen her a couple times at the Sisters Quilt Show and at Aurora Colony in Aurora, OR.
Lori explained why her blog is called Humble Quilts - it's because she loves antique quilts and especially loves how women "made do" with what they had, which meant that they had to use different fabrics because they ran out of the one they were using or a panel was too long, so they just chopped it off in the middle of a block, etc. Mistakes were left in giving it more character and you don't have to be ashamed of them.
Her trunk show was awesome as you will see below:
 |
| Made to commemorate her trip to Denmark |
 |
| She got the pattern from American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine |
 |
| Designed by Joined at the Hip |
 |
| Designed by Country Threads |
 |
| Flags of the American Revolution designed by Jan Patek (I'm making one of these) |
 |
| Panel of George Washington was a gift from a friend. |
 |
| The back of George Washington's quilt has a Martha Washington block on it. |
 |
| Lori designed this Jubilee quilt for her 50th birthday. |
Doesn't this just make you want to get busy sewing? It does for me. Lori had a story behind each quilt and some of the pictures didn't turn out, so I couldn't post them - there were quite a few more than this. I'm trying to decide which one is my favorite, but would have to pick at least 5 or 6 "favorites."
Another bonus was some visitors that came, two of whom told me that they follow my blog! One of them even won a giveaway I had a while back! It was such a treat to meet them! One visitor came from Pendleton, OR!
Thank you so much, Lori!
And thank you for inviting me and this great write up!
