Here is my latest finished Halloween quilt. I donated this quilt to my quilt guild for their monthly raffle. This quilt was made as a sample for a class I taught over a year ago for my quilt guild. The class was lots of fun and many of the students finished their quilts and they were displayed at our quilt show last July.
This quilt was the second sample for my class. My first sample was finished and gifted to a friend's granddaughter who was going through some tough dental work.
This is a pattern from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. It was called the Tea Bag quilt when I first saw it, but it was renamed One Lump or Two when it appeared in a Quilting Quickly magazine. Ten inch squares are the basis of this pattern. It is really easy-peasy. It sews up fast and is great in so many different fabrics.
The best part of this story is that a dear friend won this quilt. I was so happy for her. She decorates her house each month with different theme quilts and accessories.
If you celebrate Halloween, I hope you have a fun Halloween and get lots of goodies.
Happy Quilting
A quilt group of which I am a member have exchanged sets of blocks twice this year. The quilter who receives the blocks in this exchange will make a quilt top from the blocks they receive. Last weekend our quilt group exchanged the quilt tops that we made from the exchange blocks we received at our last get together a few months ago. This picture is the quilt top that was made with a set of my patriotic blocks. It is a fun design and I like it a lot. I am so happy to see these blocks put together. They have sat in a bag in my sewing room for several years just waiting for their moment in time to shine. They do shine in this quilt. There is patchwork, applique and embroidery in this top.
The quilt top that I made from a friend's blocks has a St. Patrick's Day theme. It was fun to see all the different quilt tops finished with other quilters blocks. It always gives me inspiration to sew my blocks together. I will post a picture of it after she receives her quilt top. She was not at our exchange so I brought her top home. I hope we can get together soon so I can give her the top I made for her.
Happy Quilting
This picture is of a grouping of flowers and leaves that my 4 year old granddaughter put together the other day. She asked me to take a picture of it. I told her it was so pretty. I thought she may be a floral designer when she grows up. She loves to pull all the blossoms off the plants, and leaves off the bushes and trees that she can reach. So you know there are no flowers blossoming below four feet, only the tops of the bushes have blooming flowers!
I do not have a quilt to show in this post only because I forgot to take a picture of my Halloween quilt that I donated to our quilt guild for October's monthly raffle. Hopefully I will be able to take a picture of it before it is given away at the monthly guild meeting next week.
Happy Quilting and Flower Gathering
