I was given a lot of old quilt parts I am sure many would throw them out but I was intrigued by the delicate stitching in these pieces from a long ago time. I felt it still had life and something more to say

" Just Say Boo!"

I got some old quilt blocks from the quilt group I belong to. The blocks were already cut but I guess no one wanted to work with these squares. I like how it turned out!

Emergance

I belong to a quilt club and we have a table to pick from each meeting of things we don't want that is quilt related. Last year I picked up some quilt blocks that were sewed together but needed "help" I deconstructed them first then added a small border to each one so they could be squared up. This year I was finally able to add other fabric to them to make a quilt. the blocks appear to be from the 1940s or 1950s most of the blocks are hand pieced and some of the stitches look like they might have been done on a treadle machine. I had it quilted by a longarm quilter. It is 77x77 finished.

If Wishes were Fishes

This quilt came from left field. that is to say I didn't have it in my mind to make this quilt. One day a couple weeks ago I looked at this fabric from the "90"s that I had left over from making my granddaughter some lounge pants. Colorful bold graphic fabric was the style then. Anyway I had just gotten the large Orange Peal template so I started fussy cutting these large fish. I had some remnants of green that I thought would work. I dug in. It wouldn't let me alone! After a couple of days the top was born!! I now have it on a frame and will see what happens next?? the quilt is approximately 52" square

Quilt of Valor

sometime in 2012 a friend gave me a box of fabric she had received from her daughter in Kentucky. It contained many red,white and blue scraps. Not wanting to waste them I put them together in a quilt. about that time I heard about Quilts of Valor. I needed to make it of a certain size so I added the blue border. I also made a label and a presentation case. I also wrote a story of the quilt that was sent with it for the recipient. I hope it has brought a measure of happiness..
