Antique Quilts



Double Wedding Ring




Churn Dash



Both quilts

Just one more note regarding my Avalon stay.  Barb, who organises the weekend, and what a wonderful job she does, brought along some quilts that she was hoping to sell.  These quilts would have been purchased by her in USA.  I couldn't help but take photos.  Someone did buy the double wedding ring (I couldn't afford it) and I gave serious thought to the churn dash.  I didn't buy though.  When you look at these photos give a thought to the fact that these quilts are all hand quilted!  The colours are still vibrant, the fabrics, feedsacks, still in very good condition.  I don't know the history of the quilts, however, just looking at them was a treat.  Thanks Barb for bringing them.

Another UFO

Pink Quilt As You Go - 1/4 Of

Close up of quilting

This is another one of my UFO quilts.  Started this year, I am confident that this will not be a ten year project.  The piece I have photographed is one quarter of the quilt.  It's circles and squares put together and quilted as you go.  A good one to take with you anywhere really.  I found it beneath some boxes of fabric and thought, yes, must do a bit more of this...soon.

UFO Finished This Week

Back of Quilt - sideways for some reason.

At last, a quilt that has been in the making for at least four years!  My grandaughter (who is only nearly 2) owns this beautiful I Spy quilt and I finished it by adding a label onto the back of it this week. 

There are so many different fabrics that Ebony is always entertained by it.  Now, let me see, I think I have about fifteen more UFOs left to do.  And that's without actually going to count them.

The Label which I embroidered!



Hexagons and more Hexagons

I had been looking for some of this fabric in order to finish a quilt I started about twelve years ago (!).  I posted a photo everywhere I could and finally a lady in USA sent me an email to say she had some.  She sent me just over a metre.  I was so delighted to have found the fabric that I put it in the box with the unfinished quilt where it remains to this day!!  So now it is about fifteen years since I began this quilt.  I promised myself I would finish it THIS YEAR.  So far, this has not happened.  However, I have finished many, many projects in those fifteeen years.  Where does the time go?
