January 20th Quilt Celebrations!

On the 20th, we had a few quilts to celebrate.

First, Theresa shared another of her family quilts

made from blocks found in her husband's grandmother's home.

She used wonderful border fabrics to tie the piece together.

You have done amazing things with these family quilts, Theresa!

I brought a couple of small quilts I made for my grandchildren

as they go through a new season in their lives.

The first is for my grandson, the second for my granddaughter.

I made each top using two charm packs

and about a yard of border fabric.

And then I shared the antique quilt that Jessie got me for Christmas!

Shirley Taylor dates it between 1840 & 1860.

Such a find!  The pattern seems to be a

glorified 4 patch/snowball combination.

Happy Quilting!

January 13th Quilt Celebrations!

Rachelle and Carolann brought quilts to show on the 13th.

Rachelle celebrated two small quilts that she machine quilted for practice.

This one is made from the scraps of fabric that were used to wave

"Goodbye" at the Sound of Music Sing-Along in Seattle.

She gathered up those she could find

and made a little remembrance quilt for a great-niece.

So cute!

And this is one on which she practiced her feathers.  Just beautiful!

Lovely work, Rachelle!

Carolann celebrated a quilt that Lois Stoltenberg pieced

and she hand quilted.

I don't know the pattern name, but it's a good one.

Beautiful, Carolann!

Happy Quilting!

January 6th Quilt Celebrations

On the 6th, we had a couple of real treats.

First Joan showed hers, an invertible tree design.  It's awesome! 

Beautiful, Joan.

Like Grandma, like granddaughter!

"As some of you may have heard, I got a sewing machine for Christmas."

She made this darling pillow with her new machine.

She is such a joy to have at quilting!

Lovely job, Briegh!

Connie brought her WWI top to show.

She got all the blocks together while in Jackson

and was able to use her mom's sewing machine to do the job.

A special addition to the process.

Looking forward to seeing the swags and all, Connie!

Happy Quilting!
