Crazy Quilt Pillow

A new project I have been working on this week, I have decided to make a few pillows, this crazy block I have had for awhile, it is one of my favorites out of many that Mom & I have made, I love it so much I am making a pillow with it. The upholstery fabric you see it laying on will be the pillow base.
 I am also making bible covers, I have 2 ready for all the fun stuff, trims, emboridery & etc .
When I came back from Mom's she sent back about 20 crazy quilt blocks for me to put together for the quilt show, those are mostly done, I just need to add the sashing and the boarder, then we will add the finishing touches just before the show .
I am in hopes of selling a few pillows and bible covers for a trip to Tenn . to see my daughter and family, they just moved there from Michigan , I haven't seen them in 3 yrs !

Kid's art work on Blue Jean Cloth

My Grand daughter Chloe and her 2 friends were over here playing with the doll house but then got tired of it and acted bored, so I cut out some 8" X 10" blocks of Blue Demin, told them to draw something pretty ,add the embelishments and then give back to me .I sewed them into tote bags.

White & Blue Lung Cancer Quilt -Done!

Finally I am done with the lung Cancer Quilt .After looking at both plans I had for Tracey she decided on the one with the dark blue sashing.I used what fabric I had in my stash ,I had quite a bit of sky blue with the clouds and some nice water fabric that I mostly use for my landscape quilts.

The dark blue is of water also, I had alot of that,I machine quilted X's in the blocks, then left the sashing plain.I drew and applicaded the ribbon  out of the flanel that was left over from the backing .I then applicaded the word :" HOPE " with the dark blue fabric and use the blanket stitch on all of that , For the boarder I machine quilted the circles on 2 corners to reprecent the inside of our lungs and stripled the rest.

This is of the back , I brought the best flanel from HeartFelt Quilt shop on sale last week.I reconment flanel for backing but I think it should be in color, not white.But I got this because it was on sale and because the ribbon is white for lung cancer .

Scrappy Quilt Fabric

I got this bag of scraps out of my closet awhile back ,the bag is a conforter size bag for a full size bed. I saved alot of scraps for along time , I was wondering how many scrappy quilts I might be able to get out of it .

I am thinking possibly 4 lap quilts would do it.

 Maybe I will start on them over the winter months.

Or too I might donate it to someone for charity quilts.

Rexa's Heirloom Quilt

Here is another crazy quilt !   Mom had these heart shape blocks given to her by a friend . They were already shaped like a heart, Mom was not sure what she wanted to do with them,well since Mom & I have the first one we made. Rexa, my younger sister by 3 yrs decided she would like to have one, so Mom and I started decorating them with more trims, beads, lace, embroidery and extra buttons & etc. Quite abit of the lace & trims Rexa sent up to her. 

Mom did not know how she wanted to finish the quilt, so she waited for us to go back to Live Oak, we decided it was best for her to line the hearts and turn them,because of the raw edges it seemed easier,  so she did that with tulle, then we laid them out like this, Mom hand sewed them down and Rexa told her to leave the rest for her to do, later on she will add more embellishments to the velvet part.

The velvet is burgany with a boarder like the first one made of embossed satin.

Old 30's Quilt ??

When we brought the house next door from our old one ,the owner left some furniture in here ,one was a hide away sofa ,well after living here for about 3 months or longer I decided to open the sofa, and this is what I found! I could not belive my eyes, it is very old and in not so good shape.

You can see some places where the fabric is worn away ,It surely looks to have been hand made all the way through .I showed it to a friend of Mom's and a couple others and every one says it looks to have been made in the 30's ! I looked for a name or date, none to be found , Sure would love to know who made it . I do not know what to do with it and at this time I have it in my closet .
