Quilting queen(Steve good free download)

[Allen levine]

Made this for my wife who has become an avid quilter 

Spanish cedar no finish 3/4 inch thick

took me approx 8 hours of time

ive seen quilting queen plaques made of wood for 5.99 so scrolling is not a way to make money I'm guessing

 

to site administration if I'm putting too many of this small scroll projects on here please feel free well I mean you can erase them if they are using too much bandwidth 

not sure if I should keep posting these small projects

Al. Throw some scrollsaw magazines in your car to read.  So when you are sitting in your car waiting while she goes in and looks through one more quilting store you just passed.  Believe me, I know!  Oh, and start building shelves to store boxes full of material and patterns.  Believe me I know!!

Every spare inch of my tiny little cape style house is devoted to fabric or finished quilts 

way ahead of you and she wants more units

and I made her a 7 foot high design wall and have made quilt hanger units for her friend also 

even the back of closet doors are loaded up

It is a "Sickness"!  Should be a quilters anonymous assoc.  With weekly meetings.

We road trip all over the country and have found quilt shops out in the middle of nowhere

my favorite was while driving from Blackhawk Colorado to deadwood South Dakota we stopped overnight in a city called lusk lusk wyoming

trust me there's nothing in the town but it had a large active quilt store

we also visit a lot of the stores my wife orders from

Allen, very nice, you should post your finished projects in the bragging section, be proud of what you have done, RJ

Well done.  Never saw that one on Steve's site.  I have a SIL that is addicted to quilting and so I have made a few signs for her.  Check out Sue Mey for some real interesting ones.

I have made the "Love to Quilt" a few times.  I stack cut 2 at a time and she has uses as Raffle Prizes at her club.  

PS:  In regard to posting too much I can't speak for Travis the more you post the better.

It is a "Sickness"(Paul)!  and  SIL that is "addicted" (Don)' these are strong words.  We in the scrolling community prefer to use "Obsession" for our form of "Sickness" / "Addiction".

Well, the material is easier to store than baskets!  My wife was into Londonberger Baskets once,  became a seller, went to conventions, and made a trip to visit where they made them.  I remember once when my daughter and her husband came for a visit.  He is in the bathroom, and yells out, "Oh my God there are 17 baskets in the little bathroom!"

when we went down to biloxi a few years back, I think the second or third time, my wife made me drive to a small town hamilton missouri....the home of missouri star quilt company. this woman started out of her house, then her son brought her to internet, and she is one of the largest retail dealers of quilting supplies in this country.....the town has maybe a dozen stores owned by her company, its actually all there is there, besides a restaurant and a small motel, which she probably owns also. was out of my way, but my wife had to go. in july we will head down to nc and stop outside of ashville, weaverville, another one of my wifes favorite stores, and we were glad to hear she didnt suffer damage during that hurricane in ashville, as weaverville is only a few miles north of ashville. 

and out of all the stores weve visited, the only store we found a nasty owner was in chicago. its like she didnt want us in there spending money, so we left. and we have found stores in the corn fields of nebraska, south dakota, in the mojave desert over in arizona, near the airport in reno nevada, and so on and so on.

I pick up boxes and stuffed envelopes several times a week at the post office from Missouri Star.
