Quilt Celebrations from July 29th and August 5th!

I am so behind it here!!

On the 29th, both Joann and June brought quilts to share.

Here are Joann's Baskets made from

half-Dresden Plates and filled with yoyo's!

....and a little bee!

Aren't they fun?  Yo-yo's are so versatile!

Beautiful work, Joann.

And here is June's lovely quilt made from a kit.  

It's "Abalone Cove" from Keepsake Quilting.

Isn't it just stunning?

Then on the 5th, Rachelle brought two to share.

This scrappy one is so classic.

And this she made from the leftovers from her

Little Girls in Pink and Gray.  You can see it here.

The pattern is "Whirl-a-Jig" from Connecting Threads,

but made without their pattern!

I really like this one.

Beautiful work, ladies!

Happy Quilting!

February 25 Quilt Celebrations!

Tuesday evening was our last gathering before the quilt show, and we were full up again with quilts to celebrate.  What a lot of fun!

We celebrated a quilt I made in 2009 that had come in for the quilt show.

It's called Pine Tree Log Cabin, and I made it for a dear friend

for her birthday that year.  I made it entirely from my stash.

Nancy showed us "Vicksburg" which she made for her brother.

It is so rich in its coloring and the pattern is wonderful.  

Beautiful work, Nancy!

Ruth brought her blue and purple "Pinwheel" quilt to celebrate.  Beautiful colors!

* * * * * * *

Joann shared her Yoyo quilt, made with over 1400 yoyos!  Can you imagine?!

Wonderful bright colors, Joann, and lovely work!

Diana brought 3 to celebrate.  First, a quilt she made for her husband.

Second, her "Chicken Quilt" with a feed sack back!

Third, her Double Wedding Ring quilt.  Absolutely beautiful!

Beckie brought her moose quilt, made for her husband who designed it. 

Barb did the quilting.  In the closeup you can see a moose quilted

into the border.  Isn't that cool?!

Beautiful!

Happy Quilting!!
