Completeing all the steps to make a quilt

I have been creating quilts for more than

half my lifetime. I started out sewing

useful traditional block quilts for my

family to sleep beneath. Years later,

I create landscape and art quilts to make

the World a little bit more beautiful.

I have not always been very good at

adding labels to any of my quilts.

Today, I am going back and hand

sewing labels onto past quilts I have

given to family members.

First quilt up....

My daughters frog quilt. I made

this many moons ago when she was a

young girl...she is married with

children of her own now.

This daughter always brought home

stray animals to love. I didn't mind

the kittens she rescued and hide in

her bedroom ("Dear, do you hear a

meow sound coming from inside your

room? "No, Mom.........")

I did put my foot down to things like

snakes and frogs and other creepy

crawlies.....

So, she got a quilt full of fabric frogs!

Slow Stitching Sunday?

Week one of 2017 project

I mentioned in last Sundays post

that I was beginning a new year

long quilt project...and I did....

I am making a 5 inch block each

day for a village...houses, trees, cars, etc.

Here is my first week photo.

The quilt is themed around the

four seasons of the year. Top to

bottom in the photo is Spring,

Summer, Fall and Winter.

I began with very simple paper

pieced blocks for the first week. I

will be adding some hand

embroidery to some of the blocks

during the year.

Today, for my Slow Sunday Stitching

I will be adding some leaves to

the tree blocks.

What are you working on today?
