****Fundraiser Book Sale***** NOW

 This is going to be a long post with lots of photos. I recommend writing down the books you'd like then send me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com with your zip code (so I can calculate shipping) and your paypal email so I can send a request. I will write SOLD under the photo as soon as I get your email. I will send books the most economical way. 

I will also take a check, cash or venmo. 


Most of these I have checked on Amazon and have gotten comparable prices. The books that seems very high priced are no longer available or priced extreme online. 

The money raised will go to Faith Seeds in Guatemala. I am on the board and your money is used wisely!

Thank you all so much!

Oregon Quilt Festival

 Last Saturday my schedule opened up and I decided to meet a friend in Salem for the Oregon Quilt Festival. It was a really beautiful day and the drive was lovely. 

Here are some terrific quilts from the show!



I really liked the quilting on this one.

I guess I didn't get a photo of this quilt but I love these prints!

Australian?






I always love Gladys' quilts!






Another one from Gladys.


This is such a simple quilt but I really love it.





Portland Rose Garden. 
My first time there was with my daughter this past summer after her accident. 


Portland Zoo has a new baby elephant! The algorithms on my computer are ridiculous!   
I swear I'm seeing every baby elephant in the world! hahaha   This is not a bad thing. I love this quilt!                                    


Here she is!


If you want to get on the baby elephant algorithm you should probably click the link to see Tula-Tu and her first steps. I'm going into Portland to help my daughter with a few things and there is a chance we may visit this little cutie!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Upcoming on Humble Quilts

 Happy March! 

Here are a few things coming up on Humble Quilts:


Fundraiser book sale! Lots of goodies, mostly donated from you all for a cause! I will be going to Guatemala later this year and I'm fundraising for Faith Seeds. You can read more about that HERE. I'm waiting for more books to arrive. 

Here are a few ready to go!


Thank you all for being so supportive. A few have asked about the t shirt dresses. Because these families are in the mountains(7500'+) it is quite cold and I may be trying to take some jackets this year. They are also at the foot of a live volcano and are sick from breathing in toxic fumes and ash. 



I'll be putting a call out for the annual Humble Quilts dolly swap, likely the 3rd week of March. If you want to participate you can start thinking about a quilt to make. 

The Lancaster quilt show is now in Lebanon. If you are going to be there I'd love to meet up!

Mid April I'll be at the Chula Vista Quilt Guild. I'd love to see you there!


Mid April I'll be at the quilt show in Nantes, France. If you are going to be there I'd love to meet up!

It is going to be a wonderful spring!
