What a challenge I was given!
It had some real challenges, including the maker had cut it off crooked. I can say this with confidence that it was not straight across!
It was then hand quilted. (By friends and myself) Something old, something new. I think it turned out perfect.
This friend wanted a baby quilt with a beachy theme. The fabric on the back is adorable. The back matches her embroidery work perfectly.
Turquoise and pink was requested for this one. If you blow the picture up you will see the fabric had chickens to match the embroidery work. Both of these were machine quilted. (I used a 1919 Singer 66 red eye and a 1952 Singer 15-91 to quilt these).
See you later!

Adding a ruffle is a great idea! These thicker mattresses really keep one guessing as to the dimensions of what fits what bed (especially difficult if it's a gift!!!!). Your "challenge" had a wonderful ending....I really like it (no hand piecing/quilting for these hands these days!!). Your stitching schedule is impressively busy!!!!!!
You are just so darned talented!!!!! Everything you make is gorgeous!!! Hope you guys have a GREAT WEEKEND! Stay dry!!!
You are so very talented my friend!
I don't think I could have managed to get that quilt put together but you did a great job! I love the felt table runner.....cute, cute. blessings, marlene
You did a fantastic job on that old fashioned quilt. I have to say something about your husband wearing that shirt with the Confederate flag... Good for him! I think the uproar over what SOME people think that flag symbolizes is so politically correct. I have never seen that flag other than a representation of southern culture and pride. It is not a racist thing... it is a historical thing--and I'm not from 'the south', I'm from Missouri.
They are all beautiful I admire your talent and creativity. I always enjoy seeing you wonderful creations. Thank you for sharing!!
You are pretty incredible. People are often telling me "You am SO patient and meticulous!", but I think quilters have an edge on that. Quilting is an art-form that requires so much more patience than I possess. Your work is a marvel.
Everything you do is so amazing!! Love the idea of adding a ruffle to a quilt that's gotten to small. It has been a while.
Sense I've checked your blogged, you' vet been very busy!
