Blackfoot Piecemakers Quilt Club: September 2012

Ode To My Wife the Quilter

She learned to quilt on Monday

Her stitches all were very fine.

She forgot to thaw out dinner,

So we went out to dine.

She quilted miniatures on Tuesday,

She says they are a must.

They were really quite lovely,

But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was a sampler,

She says stripling’s fun.

What highlights! What shadows!

But the laundry wasn’t done.

Her patches were on Thursday-

Green, yellow, blue and red.

I guess she was really engrossed

She never made the bed.

It was wall hanging on Friday,

In colors, she adores.

It never bothered her at all,

The crumbs on the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday,

My week is now complete.

My wife can quilt the hours away,

The house will still be neat.

Well it’s already Sunday,

I think I’m about to wilt.

I cursed, I raved, I ranted,

The MAID has learned to QUILT!

Connie Tabor introduced
Sue Hawkes
as our special
TRUNK SHOW GUEST.

Sue is from Pocatello and has only been quilting
from 2004. She got a sewing/embroidery machine and
never looked back. She jumped in with both feet.

This is the quilt she did learning how to use her
new sewing machine. Then she got a 18" long arm.

This quilt was the first one she sewed, embroidered and
quilted all herself. This one she took 1st in quilting.

This is green and pink quilt is a Lakehouse Pattern.
She made it for a bedroom in her daughter's new house
and had extra fabric and made matching pillows.

The is a blessing outfit. She drew the dress out
on paper first and then made it. The baby quilt
has the trapunto technique. This was a new
category for the competition and she made
it just for the competition. Sue doesn't even have a
granddaughter yet.

on the Fons and Porter magazine. She made it for her
daughter.

She bought this one at an auction at

up to four more colors. This one is a Kim Diehl Design.
