Christmas Quilts 2017

Most of these quilts were started by Aunt Zelma and finished by me. So you will get the product of a double heritage.   Here’s the list.

1. Sarah  #3 Red Batik Trip
2. Ben  #4 Pink and Green Trip
3. Abby  #9 Hydrangea Sampler
4. Julian  #2 Autumn Trip
5  Hannah #1 Red and White Trip
6. Joe #8 Out of the Box
7. Caleb #5 Stripes
8. Betsy #6 Native American Sampler


The first 4 are trip around the world quilts.  It was the only quilt Aunt Zelma could make her last year or so.  She had a method of using a white piece of paper with a bold black line on the base of her sewing machine. She was able to line up the fabric against the black line and sew quarter inch seams even with very poor eyesight. Shortly before she died she told me she had several bags with Trip around the world pieces cut and labeled.  She didn't think people would know what they were since there was not a pattern or instructions included. She asked me to find as many as I could and finish them if I was interested. I found 3.

                                                  1. Red and White Trip HANNAH

                                                     2. Autumn  Batik Trip---Julian

3. Red Batik Trip   SARAH

This is the actual last quilt Aunt Zelma made.  It was in a bag recently returned from the quilter. I just trimmed it and put on Binding.

4, Pink and Green Trip  BEN

                                                    5. Green and Maroon stripes-- CALEB
This was in a bag half put together.  I just finished it.

6. Native American Sampler--Betsy

These blocks were in a bag with the yellow and purple border and sashing.  The blocks were made by Aunt Zelma and some of her friends.  They signed their blocks. Some quilt groups will have everyone make a block following a color scheme and then have a drawing to see who gets to take them home.  I'm sure that is what happened here.

7. Loves me. Loves me not.

The rest of these quilts are mine.  This is a small Wall or lap quilt.  It is probably 55 x 70 or so.

8. Out of the Box--JOE

This one is 55 x 80.  Still small but really cute.

9. Hydrangea sampler---ABBY

This is a little bigger lavender quilt.

another Little quilt year

No time again this year so I made these little trees quick, or these quick little trees. Here's the order.

1.  Sarah -- Number 8
2.  Ben--Number 3
3.  Abby--Number 5
4.  Julian--Number 1
5.  Hannah--Number 13
6.  Joe--Number 11
7.  Caleb--Number 4

Here are the quilts.  They are numbered.  Each one is different.  Just tell me what number you want.
Love you all!

Not enough quilts!

This year I was unable to finish 9 give away quilts. I rationalized that you all might be getting too many quilts that you are afraid to use anyway.  I think I will cut back to every other year quilts for awhile.  This year I made you all a "Holy Family" wall hanging.  This is my own design, my own pattern.  Hope you like it.
        There are  2 blue ones and 2 of the ones with red/green/yellow borders.  There are 4 red poinsettia borders.  So you still have to pick.
Here is the order.
