More Quilts
Since this is a quilt blog, I'll post more quilts. How profound is that :) I've made so many I forget where half has gone. Remember, I'm getting long in the tooth and thinking is slower. Between my sister's brain and mine, we have one good working one. Don't laugh, all you youngens, it will happen to you before you know it.
This is one of the first ones I made and gave to my grandson, who has long been out of school (and college) Think maybe he could use a new one but it may be awhile before that happens.
Fence rail. I love scrappy quilts and it uses up so much of my growing stash. I'm almost a hoarder of fabric but need to thin out now and then. I love pretty fabric and would rather shop for that than clothes. I've got lots of yardage along with the scraps and find myself hating to cut into it. crazy
How did this get on here? Sha doing one of her hand sewn quilts. She does everything by hand from the piecing to quilting. It takes forever but it's the journey she tell me. Personally, I like to do one quickly so I can go on the next one. I do all machine except for slip stitching the binding, and I love that part.
Jacob's Ladder. One of my favorites. I's quick and I love two-color quilts. No having to match colors makes it go a lot faster. (I said I liked fast)
Desert Flower. Another one from the quilt shop in Durango. It was a kit and had everything in it to make. This one went to a dear sister-in-law who has been gone for several years. I miss her still-she was the one who got me into quilting.
Made this one after 9/11. I usuallly get it out 4th if July, but it's been out all year and our dog Meg thinks it's hers.

It boggles my mind how many quilts you have made, all soooo beautiful. I guess you could say I'm in the middle of how you two make your quilts. The ones I make for me I do completely by hand and the ones for gifts I do all on the machine. I'm like Sha, I like the journey and the different series of things that make a hand made quilt. I will get some of my quilt pics sent to put on here after we get back from Anchorage. I really like this blog, you girls are doing a great job. I do not do any big quilts anymore. Bad back from arthritis, I'm staying with small projects. Love you guys, G
I liked seeing all your nice quilts. A friend.. had made a quilt a long time ago and she couldn't remember what it was called. I had looked for the pattern without any luck and now I see it in your post its the Desert Flower...hers was done in purple and I really liked it. I have another blog its http://loveofquilts.blogspot.com/ if you would like to visit.
Merry Christmas. Trish
