One of the things I was working on were some quilts. Over the years I usually try to make at least one quilt a year if not two or three. Unfortunately, I did not think to take photos of all the quilts I was working on this year or two, just for my own scrapebook, but here are a couple that I finished recently.
As always, I do NOT claim to be any good at what I am doing, I just claim to be having a GREAT time doing it!
The first one is a quilt for my son. Actually I made him 2 quilts, these are not colors I personally care for, I prefer more earthy tones but they fit the quilt's center piece...
The first one is a "Beatles - All You Need Is Love" quilt. After piecing it together, I hand quilted the entire quilt. I quilted the center piece following the original design.
Around it I quilted in peace signs, an outline of my son's hand in a peace sign, musical notes, hearts and the triangles found on the outside border .
The second one I created for my son is left over material from the original "Beatles" quilt. This one is the "Peace" quilt. Also hand quilted with peace signs & hearts over the entire quilt.
I had made my sister a smaller lap top quilt many years ago but it is now long gone. This quilt was to cover her entire bed so this one is a much larger one.
Its always nice to work on a quilt during the colder months. You can keep busy while watching TV, visiting with others, etc, but can still stay warm and feel productive.
Wish I had taken photos of quilts I have made over the years for my niece and nephews. Each one of them received a quilt at some point where I took a fabric book panel, (example: Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeerm Frosty the Snowman, etc), cut the panels apart and created a book quilt instead of just a book. Then sent along a copy of a movie to go with that quilt. This way they could watch the movie and follow the story line with their own quilt. Makes reading a little more cozy & fun.
Keep creating everyone!
