Mini Sewing Quilts

Linda — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 08:47:30 GMT

A mini quilt with sewing tools is so cute that I couldn't resist buying the pattern. I'm making them with 100% cotton fabric that also has sewing motifs. I'm going to have a few surprised quilty friends when they get these. Shhh...it's a surprise!

Smile and Giggle Pillows

Linda — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:20:58 GMT

The smile pillow was really one of 3 wall hangings. I was making these for 3 good friends and I thought they wouldn't want these on their walls...I wouldn't want them on my walls. But they would make adorable pillows so that's exactly what I did and they loved them! At Hobby Lobby I found pillow forms that were just 2" too long, but I was able to stuff it down in there and it filled out the pillow cover nicely. Unfortunately, I was only able to get a photo of two of the pillows.The pillows are made from 100% cotton, machine applique, and machine pieced.The open end is closed with buttons so they can take the cover off and wash if necessry.

October Mini Quilt

Here's my October Mini Quilt of the Month. It's all 100% cotton and machine appliqued.

Flight of the Butterflies

Linda — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:28:44 GMT

This is granddaughter Hanna's 6th birthday quilt of my own design. It is simillar to baby sister Cora's quilt "Trellis Garden". I used some of the same fabrics and the same butterflies and flowers. That is where the resemblance stops. I made snowball blocks. The blocks that did not have machine appliqued butterflies or flowers in I quilted outlines of butterflies and flowers. The label has a photo of Hanna laying in the grass taken last summer.

Pansy Chair Pad

Linda — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:21:38 GMT

I had to replace the cane chair seat in my antique chair. Since I don't do caning, I decided to replace the seat with a padded seat instead. I machine appliqued the pansy design on damask and placed over padding on a piece of plywood, then stapled to the back. To finish the edges, I glued braid all the way around.

Unfinished Quilt for Hanna

Linda — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:16:59 GMT

Here is the quilt top for granddaughter Hanna's birthday next month. The longarm quilter called and said she wouldn't be able to get it done before I left to go back home. The plan was to quilt it with a butterfly pattern. Since I won't have time to take it to another longarm quilter when I get home, I will probably quilt it myself. My thoughts are to put butterflies and flowers in the plain blocks where there are no appliques. Next question is...hand or machine quilt? Do I have enough time to hand quilt? I have to think about that.

Also I usually name all my quilts, but nothing has come to me for this one. Hanna loved the quilt I made Cora. This quilt has some of the same fabrics and it has the same appliques. I used the snowball block from Cora's quilt. But this quilt does not look like Cora's quilt...You can see it in My Gallery. It's called "Trellis Garden". The only thing that comes to mind is The Flight of the Butterflies. Thoughts anyone?

The quilt is made from 100% cottons, machine pieced, machine appliqued.

Indy's Placemats

Well, Indy had to have placemats for his doggie dishes too! They are reversible, 100% cotton, machine applique, washable.

Sheila's Girls

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 17:09:05 GMT

This is a special quilt for a special friend. I had traced the hand prints of my friend's daughter and granddaughters and finally had to ask her for her hand print. I told her to ask no questions, but she would find out later. This quilt was the result. At the base of each hand print is a heart with their name and birthdate in machine embroidery. On the back, the label is my hand print. The quilt is machine applique and machine quilted. The fabrics reflects some of my friend's hobbies...fossils, collecting geckos, and her favorite colors.

OSU Buckeyes

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:56:42 GMT

My son wanted an OSU Buckeyes quilt for his 3rd son, so I created this quilt. There is machine applique as well as machine embroidery. The quilt is machine quilted. I've also made this as a wall hanging for a friend.

Quinn Has Arrived

Linda — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:48:50 GMT

I made this when my grandson Quinn was born. Pattern came from Quilter's World (Oct. 2003), but it was a Halloween wall hanging. I thought it was so cute. So I added some borders, didn't use Halloween fabrics, and put Quinn's birth announcement in the moon. It was a lot of cutting and machine applique, but that is my thing. It is machine quilted with stars. My daughter-in-law loved it!

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:11:35 GMT

This is an excellent pattern for using up scraps. I hand quilted this quilt. If I ever make it again, I will machine quilt. My fingers are still healing! I must say, however, I love the quilt!

Fall, Pumpkins, Crows

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:35:12 GMT

This is a small wall hanging that is in my kitchen. It doesn't take long to make. It's all machine applique which is also the quilting.

Keep Telling the Story

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:30:34 GMT

When I lived in Arizona, I made church banners. The church I made this one for had a stained glass window of Jesus. They asked me to make a banner for their 50th anniversary with the theme "Keep Telling the Story". The design that popped into my head was that stained glass window of Jesus coming out of a Bible. So here is my rendition. It is all machine applique...Jesus is done in watercolor fabrics, which gave it a stained glass effect. The church was very pleased with the final result.

Sing to the Lord

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:21:47 GMT

Our Women in Mission has a convention every couple years. I have had the honor of being asked to make the quilt/banner to represent our local group. At the end of the convention the quilts are given to the local pregnancy crisis center. This quilt has machine applique, machine quilting that echos the wording in the center. Two of the fabrics have musical instruments and bugs playing musical instruments. The design is my own. God has been merciful and given me grace since my car accident 4 years ago, so I consider this a very special honor to have been asked to make this quilt.

Mila's Starz

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:56:22 GMT

Another stars quilts...this time for my grand-daughter Mila. This one is paper pieced and machine appliqued; and the quilt is machine quilted with stars. The pattern is from Quilt It for Kids, 2003.
