2008 Little Quilts

Okay, here we go...lots of pictures!

Center Medallion

A Lori Smith pattern, Blueberries, Cherries and Cream, BOM. Hand quilted.


Spin City
Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Schnibbles pattern. Made from two charm packs and a little yardage. Big Stitch quilting.
Red and Black Bow Tie
A UFO from 2005. Each fabric is different. Big Stitch quilting with red thread.



Tea Time With Friends

This was a UFO from 1997. I belonged to an online quilt guild (RPLOTN) in the 90s. We chatted every morning over coffee and tea. Someone had a brilliant idea to exchange mugs/tea cups! Just like all block swaps it's not perfect but holds lots of memories for me. It's big stitched with prairie points in the border and hand embroidery.

Of course there were baby announcements for Emily and Sarah.

Flowers For My Love
A Lori Smith pattern series called Fit To Frame (set one). I did this series as a BOM. There were six patterns-five had four quilts each and the last was a larger applique quilt. I really enjoyed doing these and actually hand quilted this one.

Blue Charm Tumbler
Another 2005 UFO finished. Each tumbler is a different fabric. I did big stitch quilting and it went quick!

A Walk In The Garden
Another Lori Smith Fit To Frame quilt. this one from set 5. Hand appliqued and quilted.
Pinwheels In My Garden
A block of the month, Lori Smith pattern Chocolate and Cherries. The version I got was called Blueberries, Cherries and Cream. There are nine quilts in this series. Hand appliqued and hand quilted.
This only a top. Another Blueberries, Cherries and Cream. I noticed two mistakes in my piecing...have to fix that.
Sandy Spends Alot
Another top...Lorie Smith, Fit To Frame, set one.
Four Patch Fannie
Top, Lori Smith Fit To Frame, set five.
Friends Are Forever
A top from Blueberries, Cherries and Cream.
Mosaic
A top from Blueberries, Cherries and Cream. I think this one needs a border or two.
Tomorrow I'll be back with the big quilts from 2008!

  4. You are quite prolific! All so very nice. AND it is lovely to have your resolution for more frequent blogs. (I hope) We miss you when you aren't around to hear from - for those of us who don't live close. And those T. Babies - we do have to keep up. They change so quickly.
