Online Trunk Show

Hey did you know there was an online trunk show going on this month.  How exciting to look back at your favorite quilts!  Come join the fun! There is a button on the right hand side of the blog that will explain it all!

I will start with my favorite quilt. I had so much fun making this tradtional red and green quilt.  It comes out every Christmas to help put us celebrate the holidays.

 I made this pickle dish last year. It's my cuddle on the couch quilt. It's such a whimsical pattern and the colors just make you happy every time you look at it.

My pyramid quilt was made from favorite fabrics in my stash.  I used a solid black to border it.  I had a lot of fun big stitching this quilt and used the large cable on the border.

I love to garden so quilts that feature flowers always call to me.  This peony quilts was made to remember the beautiful peonies that we had in our yard in a previous home.

 This red and white and blue kaleidoscope quilt was made for  my brother in law.  He works with a  funeral detail that honors our veterans as they are laid to rest. Such important work and these former veterans are out in all kinds of weather honoring those veterans for the last time.

Amish Ice Cream Social was my first attempt at a string quilt. Again I added a lot of wonderful hand quilting and a wonderful cable feather border.

I added trapunto to the feathered wreaths.

And finally Simple  But Not came about  because of my need to own a cheddar quilt.  Made out of bits of scraps sewn into pumpkin seed shapes and appliqued to the solid background and accented with feather quilting backed by some crosshatching.
