This blog is basically becoming a record of my quilts.  It's okay with me.  At least I have a photo of them!

This first quilt I bought fabric for quite a while ago.  Afterwards, I realized that I didn't like red/white/blue quilts.  So, I never made it.  I had someone in town, whom I've sold quilt tops to in the past, ask if I had any for sale.  I didn't have one made, as I haven't sewn a lot this past year, but I knew immediately that this would be the quilt for her.  It was!  She loved it.  

This quilt is a Tumbler Quilt.  It was very easy to make, easier than I had expected!  I was inspired by Sebrina Brown, the 11 year old whom I have taught at quilt camp the past two years.  She made a tumbler quilt last May.  It turned out so cute that I decided that I would make one as well.  I had lots of fabrics around and thus created this quilt.  

Pioneer Braid Quilt

Last month the Grayson Country Quilters had a retreat - aka Quilt-a-thon. We had two classes that were taught. The first was a Pioneer Braid by Norma Madden. The quilt is a scrappy quilt - my favorite type - and it went together very quickly! ( I love quick quilts).

I finished the quilt about a week after the Quilt-a-thon and then took it up to Jeri Montella's. She had it done in two days. I picked it up last Saturday and then bound it on Monday and Tuesday. I've been using it every since! I love the quilt!!!

The Second Time Around

Do you remember this quilt?

Well, I wasn't pleased with how I had asked to have it quilted.  I liked the back of the quilt, because it was off white flannel with this nice design (shown below).

The brown stitching showed up too much on the front and I didn't like the design on the front.  This had nothing to do with the individual who quilted my quilt, it had everything to do with how I asked her to quilt it.

As a result, I made a SECOND QUILT and had it quilted the way I wanted.  Here's it is!

I LOVE THIS QUILT and use it all the time!
