A group of us are doing it with a leader ( Linda) online so we can
Jordan loved his quilt with space ships and bugs crawling across the top,
Evan loved the flannel backing the best.......
Micah loved that hers was long enough, because at 13...she is 5' 10"!
This picture was taken in 1993 down in NYC the day Denise was sworn
Evan is nine years old today but he will get his quilt on Sunday. I think these crumb quilts are just terrific for kids.
Jordan will be eleven next month but will get his quilt early since we will be visiting this Sunday.
I just joined a new Yahoo group that is a spin off from Stashbusters called
Linda is leading us and this is where we are so far :0).
These two quilts were made from the same book years apart....this one hangs in my granddaughters room, it measures about 32" x 37". The patterns are by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen Von Holt, and Sylvia Johnson. I've made maybe 20 of their little quilts :0).
This little quilt use to hang in my daughters room when she was a little girl. It measures 18''x25'', I made it from the book" Celebrate with Little Quilts". I just loved these little baskets. Sadly I have no idea when I made this because there is no label....but nearly 20 years ago :0).
sunflower in Brookgreen gardens...... they are like sunshine on a stick :0).
Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina..." Ever changing. simply amazing"
My string quilt is coming along and I think at this point I may add some sashing to separate the blocks and call it done and use it for a baby quilt. I am thinking about adding the name of the recipient in the borders using the freestyle letters I so love from Tonya.
Another crumb quilt was mailed today to my friends 3rd grandchild....
Clara :0)...both her parents graduated from Michigan.
I had a skunk and a deer grazing together in the back yard this afternoon :0), think they are friends?
I am ankle deep in scraps up in my sewing room.....time to sew some of them up and get them out the house. Have you noticed that scraps never really get used up they just keep multiplying?
I love the beauty of a perfect morning glory
One of my shade loving peonies going to seed. Yes, these are the true colors.
Shirt pockets left on...........
sewn right into the top
And its done :0).......into the pile waiting for Debby to quilt .
I'm playing around with the blocks trying to get an even flow of color across the top.
I'm ready to put these blocks up on the design wall......yep 273 blocks.
This 4.5 inch elephant is on the hunt! I made this for my dear granddaughter Lily to go with her elephant quilt for her birthday. Its from "Sewing tiny toys" by Carolyn Vosburg Hall. Her book gives the best directions with pictures. I enjoyed sewing this by hand, I stuffed it with leftover pieces of wool batting........isn't he cute?
Happy scraps :0) made into a little log cabin..the logs are .5 inch finished, this hangs upstairs in my hallway and is a 24" square
This little tumbling block quilt was made in 1989 completely by hand, it is a 22" square. I remember dragging these pieces around to my childrens activities to keep me busy while I waited.
I love this little quilt, it hangs in my powder room where the 28 inch square does not get lost in a big space. I quilted it by copying a pattern on tracing paper then stitching by machine through the paper then tearing it away.
Oh how I love this orange striped shirt......so much so that I hate to cut it and I got it for FREE!
My granddaughter turns one today! This is the label for her Elephant quilt
My little woolly sheep is celebrating the 4th of July. In Ireland they were wondering everywhere in the country side with their black faces I remember the Irish call them "killer sheep".
Everything but the kitchen sink is in this scrappy top. Directions on how to make a fabric book from a panel, scraps sent by Erin, reused pieces from my top swing your partner, and left over bits from various other Bonnie Hunter mysteries. Somehow it just doesn't feel finished. Lazy Gal pointed it out to me and I have the left the top out to study it a bit more.........maybe it will tell me what it wants.......I'm listening :0).
So I added the border.....is it better or worse? Well... it is done. This is how it will stay :0)
So when does a scrap quilt become just too scrappy and start looking like a jumbled mess.....this quilt is right on the edge of being that mess......I'm going to try adding a border of two constant colors, still following the pattern and see if that helps.
I made this for friends to hang in their livingroom when they moved to their lovely new home a year ago using all their colors.
