Quilt Order Already in For Christmas 2012

Pin It
When you are 6 years old and your older brother received a new quilt
 for Christmas (2011) 
and you didn't ! 
YOU understand the whole idea of 
ASKING  Grandma EARLY ! ! 

Simple Quilt using Squares

On our trip in January, I was asked if he could have a new quilt for Christmas. 
He had no colors, no size, just a quilt and after some talking I found out the reason ! 

"With My Name on IT?"
Simple Quilt using Squares made into a Quilt

I found the why......I put Grand #1's name of the back of his new quilt
And Grand #2 likes it and needs a quilt with his name on it too ! 

Here's his new quilt top ! !  Machine pieced and I'm going to do 2 layers of batting 
and tie it, just like brothers. Grandma's learning ! 

The ONLY thing is this pattern is not going to be a pattern book, 
like brothers -  HERE 

The question, "Did Grandma learn anything?"

Pin It

I hate to say, but, I use this quilt and it's not finished...

Blue and White Flowered Quilt

I even put the binding on it, 

Blue and White Flowered Quilt Top

because it fits a table I have and having it on it makes me happy.
It measures about 40" x 40" 

Blue and White Flowered Quilt

It's machine pieced

and Not hand quilted YET ! 
Some day??? Maybe??

I'm showing the back, it's been washed a number of times, use a 1/4" seam allowance always, you never know what your quilts will be doing for you.

Living with Quilts Around My House

Pin It
Recently, reading a blog forum about how pictures make your posts better, they talked about lighting, balance and behind scapes of each picture.

 On an average I shot 6-8 pictures of everything I take pictures of.  I figure if I go to all the work to get it out,  I'm going to over do it.
What if I didn't ???
Living with Quilts Around My House
We live with my quilts, we use them, wash them and love them.
So, a few nights ago I walked around the house.

Husband with his fishing trip quilt, no quilt is softer.

And my sewing room wall, as I see it daily.   You will also notice there are no Quilt Ladies Book Quilts out, they are put away and used for shows only !

Enjoy your quilts ! We do !
