Living with Quilts Around My House
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 ???
We live with my quilts, we use them, wash them and love them.
So, a few nights ago I walked around the house.
Computer quilt, for wrapping up in as I blog.
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 !

Quilted Rocking Chair Back
Quilted Rocking Chair Back
I enjoy the Amish colors and working with them is always fun.
I think this is the first time I used a dark batting and it makes a world of difference with the black fabric.
This is my Great-Grandmothers rocker. A very long time ago, I'd said to my grandmother, "What a great chair," and years later she arrived one day with it for me. With them both ladies gone, I just like setting is in, it brings me peace.
Sew Happy,

Full of YOURSELF Quilt
Not too do or Full of YOURSELF Quilt !
This is my what not to do quilt and it has never been to a quilt show, until now !
It's the quilt that gives my heart perpetuation's, It's just not right.
It's the quilt that gives my heart perpetuation's, It's just not right.
I think it would be better, IF I added loads more quilting, but that's not going to happen.
Machine pieced and hand appliqued and quilted (some what)
Can you also see that my colors are not right, the applique is lost in the piece work.
This is my, "don't get full of yourself quilt ! "
It brings me right down to earth, every time !
I've come along way! HA !
Sew Happy, Beth

Piecing Paisley
I'm in the sewing room and working with the paisley fabric. Fabric picks
I've always thought about doing a contest piece and I think this will be a try ?
I use the "How to method" - HERE
There will be a traditional pattern, but the rest, it's going to be me, not for a book, not for sell, not for anyone BUT me !
Please notice, that NONE of these patterns, colors are textbook, but they work. ! !
It will be machine pieced, hand appliqued and hand quilted. It will not be done tomorrow and that's alright, I need to start taking me time.... again!
Be Kind to all, Beth

Graduation Quilt from 2000
When both of our boys graduated from high school, I did a quilt for them to take to college. It was all the thing at the time, and may still be, to do a t-shirt quilt. To me, the boys needed my quilts.
