Looking Back

I am going back in time right now.....I found a baby quilt, I quilted, that's sweet! Little various colors of "chubby chicks" on white, alternated with pink pinwheels. This is one I would like to make.....someday!!! The prairie point border and green border adds more whimsy to the quilt!

I quilted this sweet thing with a leafy/heart vine in the white border, swirls in the pinwheels and picos and little heart/wings on the chicks!! I love it!!

I'll bet the chicks YOU are raising aren't as colorful as mine!!!! :)

This quilt was a joy to quilt! Let me tell you about it.....2 years ago I was in charge of the "Friendship Blocks" in our guild. For this grouping of blocks I asked that those join in, that they use red reproduction prints and white/off white shirting and they were to use this pieced pattern and keep them at an 8 " block. We had about 26-26 sign up. This one guild member had all her blocks put together with alternate red squares and she used black and white prints for the 2 inner border! It turned out fabulous!


I quilted a square feater in the red alternate blocks, a "Betty" flower in the pieced blocks, feathered along the borders. and put a small line pattern of "Betty" flowers in the black and white inner borders.....

In the black and white inner borders I put a line pattern of "Betty" flowers to echo the Betty flowers in the blocks!

It's a sweet quilt that looks like a civil war reproduction.......

I must put MINE together, soon! After, I get caught up with my QUILTING!

Princesses

For Christmas this year, seven of our Princess Granddaughters, each received a TuTu made by Grandma Holly. Yes, seven TuTu's!!! Grandpa and 12 year old Uncle also pitched in to help. We hope the girls are enjoying them as much as we had fun picking out the colors of tulle and ribbon to match the personality of each little princess! When they opened up their gifts there was alot of "twirling" going on around the room!!!
