Quilt Trunk Show Last Day

Here are the last random quilts!

 This quilt was a shop hop quilt I cannot take the credit for.  All of the employees made blocks for it and I think it was Pam who put it together for us.  The next two blocks are contributions I made to two shop hop quilts one is in this one the other I am not able to find the photo for.

 The quilt above and below are kitty quilts.  The one above I made for Patches and below is Minnie's.  I still need to make Piper's quilt I do have the fabric I just need to take the time and she is worth the time!

 This is made from a Thimbleberries pattern and I put this on my coffee table at Christmas.

 Two small table runners I made one I gave away one I kept.

 I made this quilt for my friend Gale when she became a grandmother to have at her house for her grandbaby.

 This quilt I gave to my friend Robyn for her 50th birthday.

 More Valentine runners I again kept one and gave away the other.

 Valentine wall hangings I gave away.

I was a teacher's asst for a kids quilting class and we made this quilt that you can see behind my little Mickey.  Mickey received this quilt.  I sure wish I still had this pattern.

I hope you enjoyed my trunk show.  I know I have, it brought back so many memories of the time I made a quilt or project and who was in my life and circumstances.  Especially some of the Thimbleberries Club quilts, my sister in law and I would meet up for dinner and then go to the meetings.  I sure enjoyed those days.

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs,
Tania

Quilt Trunk Show 5

Quilt tops is what I am showing you today.  Some still need more work and many are just waiting to be quilted.

You will notice some are sideways and that is because they were better shown on the clothes line that way.  I suppose I could have turned them around...anyway, here we go!

 This was a civil war technique class I took.  

 This was a shop sample I did with a three-one yard pattern.  This cute flip flop/swim suit fabric came in and I needed to make something with it.  The backing is adorable. it is swimsuits on mannequin's very cute!

 A block of the month, I think it was called Aunt Gracie's Garden.  I just love this one.  It's big.

 Another block of the month.  I do have another border to add onto this one.

 This is Mr. Man's quilt.  It was going to be mine but he said he wanted it and I can't say no to him if he likes something.

 This is a jelly roll quilt.  It was a contest I participated in at one of the quilt retreats and I did place in the top three...I can't remember if 2nd or 3rd.  It was just fun to do.  Also this quilt was the first one I made after mom died, actually just a couple of months later and I wanted to do something happy because I was so sad.  It kinda makes you smile doesn't it?

 This one is a recent one I have made called Grammies Buttons.  This one is for me!

 This is my very latest I blogged about it just a few months ago.

 My friend Theresa showed us at Sassy Stitcher how to make this really neat block.  I want to make another quilt in this pattern but maybe in a brights?

 My mother in law made these blocks I put them together with the sashing and two borders I do have one more border to put on, it will be a piano border.  When my mother in law had cancer and was going through chemo she would lay on the couch and since I had issues with my chemo as well (I didn't have cancer I take chemo for other reasons) I would lay on another couch and we would visit and take naps.  Once while laying on the couches she said to me, "your 25th anniversary is coming up and I wanted to make you a quilt out of those 1930's blocks (it was from her block of the month) but I don't think I will be getting to them.  If I gave them to you would you finish it for me?"  She knew how much I liked the 30's replica and she didn't at all and I was very happy to receive this generous gift.  We are now at 30 years but I am going to get it done and it will be in our bedroom as it should be.

 I made this as a sample for the shop.  I wish I didn't agree to do this one, not liking it at all.  It will be good for a car quilt when done.

 From a far this quilt is beautiful.  It worked until I did the borders and I am not the only one with this problem I can happily say.  I am so disappointed in this quilt, I spent way too much money on it to be this disappointed.  Candi said she loves it and wants it so I will probably give it to her one day.  I recently gave this pattern away I won't be making it again.

 This quilt is my fun Christmas quilt that Mickey and I share.  I will keep this, once finished it will go on Mickey's bed at our house and one day it will be hers.

 This quilt was made from a 5 yard bundle and a free pattern came with it that I purchased at a shop hop.

 A Thimbleberries block of the month quilt

Another year of a Thimbleberries block of the month.  

Well this concludes my categories.  My next blog are quilts that I was able to find on USB drives that  I gave away or didn't have on hand and are packed away.  Not too many but they will have their own category of strays.

Thanks for your time!

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
