My Blue and White Hand Quilted Quilt - The Quilt Ladies

Pin It

I've learned through the years that the way to a Quilter's heart is through hand quilting. 

This is my, "I can talk the talk AND quilt the quilt," quilt. 

I've seen grown woman, sigh, giggle and try to hold their fingers back from touching this quilt. www.bethanndoing.com

It started out as a baby quilt, but it has been put to work as my opening when I speak. I can HAND quilt the quilt ! !

Living with Quilts

Pin It
I love having my quilts around me. I think with all the moving we have done as a family, I always know my quilts are close.
I'm a true believer that quilts are made to be used. I have only one quilt that's not used and it is one my Great-great grandmother made for my mom, when mom was a little girl.(Great Grandma's Quilt is now used by me. quilt pattern here for you )  But everything else in this house is used, washed and loved.
This little star quilt is at the front entry, so it greets everyone who enters. 

On the library table.

This little quilt is larger that the top of the chest, but I just folded it to fit, it's made with 30's reproduction fabrics, these quilts are all 100% cotton, and all hand quilted by me.

In the winter I started with one quilt on our bed and as the months go on even here in Florida, I add quilts as needed.  I had 3 quilts on the bed this year. I was removing them to wash and put away and decided to take a couple of pictures. 

I machine pieced this quilt and had it long arm quilted.

I used scraps for the back and just had fun.



Used no pattern just pieced and let it happen.

Paisley Quilt

Pin It
I love paisley fabric and this is my vacation quilt.
I used a very different palette of colors and patterns, it's just fun.
Before the move this is the quilt that I put away here at the condo. Some times, it's nice to cuddle in a quilt no matter what the temperature is outside. 
It's a very simple pattern, a 2 inch center square and then just log cabin around the outside with 1 inch strips.



The finished size is a square 50" x 50" a good size for curling up on the couch. I used a 100% cotton batting and hand quilted.

Pin It

Pulling out quilts this morning and here's one of my favorites. I've been working on putting a new website together and book, this will probably be the cover shot...used in some way. I will get it all put together and share soon.

I've learned through the years that the way to a Quilter's heart is through hand quilting. This is my, "I can talk the talk, quilt the quilt," quilt. HA ! 

I've seen grown woman, sigh, giggle and try to hold their fingers back from touching this quilt.  I cannot tell you the joy is brings me.
