Quilt Trunk Show 4

 Wall hanging is today's theme.  Some are small and some are large, but all of these has graced my walls at one point, some still do and some are rotated out for the month or season.

 I took a class for landscape quilting, my first and only attempt.

 This was a class I took called liberated log cabin.  Loved it that there aren't many rules.

 My first attempt on paper piecing without a class...actually I still haven't taken a formal class on it since I wasn't enjoying it too much.

 This was my first class on machine applique.  

 This is the fall of the four seasons patterns.  I have in progress winter and haven't touch the other two seasons yet.

 This is actually a panel by Thimbleberries.  I hand quilted this as well as the other panels you will see.

 Another Thimbleberries panel.

 I made this wall hanging for my mom many many years ago.

 This pattern is from a Thimbleberries book.

 This was a block of the month through Bunny Hill Studios and my first attempt at hand applique.  After a few blocks I took an applique class.  I'm not any better but know a few more tricks.

 This is another Thimbleberries panel.

 Gotta love the free patterns that come in the mail because this is one of them.  It is a Sudoku quilt.  I made one for me and Candi since we both like to play the game.

 I hand applique this sweet little number.

 My second paper piecing.

 This one is hanging in my kitchen when it's not a holiday month.

 This wall hanging is called button town.

 I made each of these month wall hangings for the quilt shop I worked for and now I change them out in my home each month.

 I think this is adorable but when I was done with it I was so over it that I gave it to my sister.

 This wall hanging it a small quilt and usually hangs in my front hall in the summer.

 This one graces a wall in my creative room to remind me to slow down and do it right.  Too many mistakes with this one.

 A cute little bugs in the jar quilt.

 Yet another Thimbleberries panel

I saved the best for last ~smiles~ I call this the ugliest quilt ever.  It is made from all the charm squares from a shop hop I went on and didn't know what to do with it so I sewed them all together and called it a day.  It really isn't a wall hanging, doesn't even have a sleeve on it so I'm not sure why I put it with this category?!  

I hope you enjoyed today's show.  I thought I had one more but I may have two more posts on this and then we can move on!

Hugs,
Tania

Quilt Trunk Show 3

Today's trunk show is a short one.  I am showing 6 table toppers. Five are my own designs, very simple but worked well for what I needed them for.

This heart topper isn't my own design.  I made this quickly out of scraps for something to put on our Valentines table.  To have it quickly it was tied and don't look to closely it has many stains because we actually use it on our table every Valentines since and we usually eat lobster and what a mess they can be, but well worth it!

I have two more days to post on my quilts.  There will be my wall hanging and quilt tops (not quilted).

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs,
Tania

Quilt Trunk Show part 2

Welcome back to part two of my quilt trunk show.  Today's is all about quilt table runners.  This is a very small percentage of what I have made over the years.  I have made many runners for family and friends.  I have sold some and yes there are some in those holiday bins, many.  I hope you enjoy today's trunk show.

 This pumpkin runner is rather long it is an extra bonus pattern from TB club.

 This is a Christmas runner probably hard to tell but I made it with a charm pack and charm pack pattern I bought while visiting MN.

 A quick and easy runner

 My own pattern I made up for a small cupboard.

 Another one I made up this also fits that same cupboard.

 I made this for the top of my toilet tank.  I have made many of these but different patterns.

 Another cupboard runner

 I wanted something red, white and blue for the fourth of July one year and took scraps and made this.

 This is my favorite runner, it is always on my buffet.  I love the colors and pattern.  Unfortunately I borrowed this pattern to my sister in law and never got it back.  I don't borrow things too often because of this I probably shouldn't have because I have wanted to make another one and I can't remember anything about the name or who made it. 

 I like this as well and is always with my tea cup collection.  This is also a charm pack pattern.

 Another fourth of July runner.  

 This little runner was in a challenge and now in my sewing room

 This runner is on the toilet tank of Mickey's bathroom

 This runner is one of those ten minute runners.  I have this on my dresser

 Mini version of the ten minute runner in my down stairs guest bath

 A fun mini kitty runner

These two are different but similar and are made for toilet tanks as well.

Check back part 3 is just around the corner.

Quilt Trunk Show -1

 Mission accomplished!  I pulled all the quilts and quilted items such as table runners and wall hangings out of the guest room closet and photographed them.  

I have been wanted to reorganize that closet as well so I feel really good to get them out of there...for now.

 Here is a start of pulling them out and bringing them to the kitchen.

I also had to go around the house and pull quilts that are being used. 

I also have more quilts that are in storage.  Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentines and Fourth of July, which I didn't want to start pulling out bins so I will photograph them as each season is upon us.

Also I gave several quilts away to my daughters and granddaughter, my sister and her kids, friends and friends that had become grandmothers for the first time and my great nieces and nephews (first born) Which I don't have photos to share with you.

I also had made my mom an autograph quilt when she turned 60 and she was buried with it, I do have a photo of it but couldn't find it.

 Piper thought I pulled out the quilts for her.  The kitties do like the quilts too!

So I am posting today finished quilts only the tops even though I did take a photo of the backs for my record but thought that would be boring for my post.

There are so many projects I will break them up into categories.

 This was a block of the month from the quilt shop which I had worked. This is hand quilted.

 I belonged to a Thimbleberries club when I lived in Minnesota and we bought a kit per season this is winter.

 This was another year at the TB club also a winter.

 TB club autumn, above
Below is one big panel quilt.  The fabric is of paper dolls and I couldn't bear cutting it apart so I made one panel quilt with borders.  This is in the guest room as a napping quilt.

 My Halloween quilt which I also made a small one for Mickey.  I am missing that picture as well.  My laptop died before I could get all my pictures removed.  Lesson learned! Oh but I do have them printed out, just not on a drive.

 My friend Barb and I went to a GA quilt shop hop and we both bought this quilt kit, I have it in the guest room for a napping quilt.

 This quilt is pretty beat up but I still have it.  I made it for Mr. Man and I.  I picked this particular pattern because it is called the double T.  This quilt is also a tied quilt which I haven't done in years and probably won't ever again.

 This is a block of the month I did when I belonged to a quilt guild in Conyers, GA

 Oh my I should remember something about this one, I will have to do my research when I add it to my book.

 This is a TB club spring or summer?

 This was a quilt challenge at the guild in Conyers we had to choose so many polka dot fabrics.  I call this Ida's closet, that was my great grandma's name and she was the one who started me on quilting and sewing.

 A rag quilt that I collected fat quarters for sometime from GA to MN and back.  This quilt Mr. Man took as his own.  I may have to make myself one!

 This is an eye spy quilt I made Mickey for Christmas a couple years ago.  Luckily she was over and brought it to be washed so I could photograph it.

 This beat up quilt is all flannel front and back I made this for my step dad for Christmas one year.  He loved the old fashion sleds, he collected them and decorated them for Christmas.  The pattern is antique sleds.  When he and mom passed I became the owner of two of his sleds.

 I also joined the TB club that the quilt shop I had worked.

 This quilt was my first formal quilting class.  I made quilts by what my grandma had taught me and it was cutting out by templates!  Then my mother in law came across a quilt shop that offered beginner classes so she asked if I and her daughter Sue wanted to join her.  This is the first of the three classes.  By the way what a nice new gadget I learned how to use in this class...A ROTARY CUTTER!

 This was the second class.  I must have loved Debbie Mumm at the time because these two quilts are from her fabric line.

 This is our third class.  I made this one for Mr. Man, it has tools printed on the black fabric.

 This is a quilt I made for my mom.

 This was a block of the month from the quilt guild in Conyers.  I moved to North Dakota part way into it and a friend in the guild sent me the rest of the patterns.  She also gave me a piece of fabric to use in.

 I love this quilt!  This fabric came into our shop and I pet it all the time dreaming of what I could make with it and I came up with this turning twenty.  This is hand quilted.

Please visit again as I will be adding more!

I hope you enjoyed my first day of my trunk show.

Hugs,
