This is a quilt I made a few years ago, but had never had it quilted.
I took it to my quilter, Cindy, and magic!
Here is a close up of the border with the double feather design

Close up of the plain fabric block. . . look what quilting can do!
I made this pillow for our new grandson to be, (hopefully tomorrow) Raquel brought me the scraps from the quilt she had made for Harmon and here is the pillow that I made from them. I will take it back to DC with me when I go to meet Harmon Mark Bell in a couple of weeks.
Close up of the embroidered 'h' for Harmon!
Here is the knitted blessing blanket for Harmon. It's a very pale blue.
Here is my birdie quilt that I stitched last year. I got the pattern from a blog called "Little Miss Shabby". It was a free monthly download, and I finally got it together and quilted as well. The little birdie has a theme for each month. FUN!
Here is a close-up of the July block
And, another close-up of December
Cindy quilted darling details in each block. . .LOOK!
Here is a dear old friend, my summer quilt that I designed with my friend, Laureen.
Those are peas from the garden and summer flowers
Carrots and a little chair for the porch
Gardening tools and a slice of watermelon
A bee and his hive and of course, the red, white and blue!
Hope you enjoy the day and get a chance to create!
VERY CUTE QUILTS!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I wish I liked to quilt. They are AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteWe need to find a way to display all these things you've been making over the years.... the decades... You raised me and I'm still impressed each time I see another new quilt or pillow!! Great work Mama. Keep creating! Glad you and Dad helped create me. (Is that even OK to write online? I know this is a family blog) :)
ReplyDeleteYou are one talented lady!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!! Wow! I love the quilts!!! Love the first one! It turned out so beautiful! I'm so glad you got it all finished! So much work! And the birdie quilt! I love it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you put an old fave on besides the newest, latest, and greatest! Love it - and love YOU, my creative partner in crime. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt that you did a few years back and as bad as this sounds could you put that one in your will for me? I'm not joking really could you? :) I LOVE how the birdie quilt turned out it's darling, way to get that one finished. Most importantly I love H's little pillow can't wait for him to have it and the blessing blanket is to DIE for. You are so creative, one day I am going to be you.
