More Quilts...

from the 2012 Quilters Unlimited Show-

 Organic Log Cabin #3 by Jenny Emery


 Organic Log Cabin #4 by Jenny Emery



Jenny had a quilt at the two AQS shows this year. She's a very talented hand quilter. Love those spirals!

made by Jean Whittig

Lately, I've been feeling a bit like the woman with the apple bottom. I finally got back in the pool today and swam some laps. It's been a few months since I last swam and it felt good.

 Made by Carla Schardt.

What a hoot...









Machine pieced by Glennda Shriver and machine quilted by Judy Hendrickson. Pattern by Susan H. Garman. There are 11,520 pieces in the body of the quilt! The 9-patches are 1 1/2 inches.



I'm still machine quilting by 30's hexagon quilt. I finished one more flower for my new hexagon project-

I also lined the drawers to my refinished card catalog with wool I picked up at the quilt show-

The wool is just what the drawers needed.

  1. The quilt with the sayings is very fun!
    I love the OMIGOSH quilt. And your card catalog is such a great find. Good idea to line the drawers with wool. : )

  4. Great post! The OMIGOSH quilt is one I am cutting and saving strips for....someday. The other quilts are all lots of fun and I like the use of the card file for your thread.

  11. the small drawers holding your spools is so~o~o very charming~!!~
    i agree with you about the spiral quiling on the first couple of quilts, it's beautiful and such a nice contrast against the hard lines of the piecing. LOVE the colors in organic log cabin #4 and both quilts make me think a lot harder about using more solids in my own quilts.

    it's good to see your hexagon piecing. mine has been laid aside for a bit. i have a few odds and ends that i want to clear up and then i'll be back to it.

    always good to visit and see what you are up to Maureen. the quilt show pieces were fun to look at too.
