Quilts n' Quirks: November 2013

Friday, November 22, 2013

I had so much fun enjoying the Jelly Roll Races quilt, that I decided to teach some others how to do it. We had 7 ladies come to our home Nov. and they did super. Here they are.

This was Becca Ivy's firt time ever to sew anything. She caught on very quickly.

Carol Fredere came and mended a quilt.

Wedding Quilts

Over the past 20 years I've made many quilts for weddings, starting with my own children, and then for extended family and friends. Here are some of the ones I've made. This Cheater Quilt (printed fabric to look like it's pieced) was made for Brian and Susie Bayles. I'll always remember the evening that Suzie's family and Brian came over to help tie it. There were at least 4 guys who had never tied before. There was some wild stitching going on! Afterward I spent several hours, redoing the tangeled threads on the back, and removing strange stitches. But the fun was worth it!!
