I guess you know I have been busy when I haven't even had time to show you OTHER people's quilts,lol! Here are some more great quilts from the Harwich quilt show. I LOVE this Christmas quilt! It was done beautifully. What a LOT of work! In the center is a "Letter to Santa" Above is a great scrappy log cabin. I never think to use all of those different colors, and when they are all together it looks great!
I really gravitate towards applique, these two quilts were fine examples of it. I notice there is less and less handwork at these shows. It means all of my hand appliqued' and hand quilted quilts will be worth a fortune some day, I think!
I loved this log cabin with the appliqued center blocks. Beautiful work, and very cozy with the flannel and plaids!
I just finished the third Christmas block about a week ago. The next one should be in my mailbox this week.
I decided to attempt to quilt this quilt one block at a time. I think I will be able to do each block, get it quilted, and attach it to the next one. If I wait until I am finished, then it will be a year or so of hand quilting. I have never done this before, but I have found some great tutorials. I will show you as I go along, in case you are interested in doing it this way too! I also figured, since I have been running around crazy..I can grab a block, and bring it with me wherever I go! It's funny, one of my friends said....you are never home......I replied....I was home for 30 years, you should have caught me then...lol! Stay tuned..................................
