Quilt Finishes




Just showing a few finishes. Seems like the quilts always get given away in a hurry, and I never show them bound.



This one was a simple 4 patch with a border and cornerstone sewn on only 2 sides, not all around.




For some reason, the men who see this one choose it as one of their recent favorites in the completion. That's cool, since it's going to Ginny's oldest grandson Weston, who will be 14. Funny how time passes, I remember when his momma was in 3rd grade...!



Can you see his name sewn into this one ?



The cowboy quilt was a hit with the girls at quilt class this last week.

Ginny was so cute holding it up, peeking over the top.






Remember the "neighborhood" exchange Beth and I participated in? This is my house, but not my quilt top!



One of my "neighbors" is working on her quilt, and she built a little park in the middle, love it!
Speaking of my friend Beth, and Jerry, we have shared anniversary dinners over the years, and went to our favorite fish restaurant, Market Broiler. Theirs is May 17th, and ours is May 15th. Tomorrow! We have been married for 35 years.
w.o.w.

Hope your weekend is going well, too!

  3. Happy Anniversary to you all! Fun to have friends to share it with.

    Love the quilts. I need to make some "man" quilts this year since a few boys in the neighborhood are graduating in the next couple of years. I seem to make mostly "girlie" quilts.

  4. Happy Anniversary!! Don't those years just fly by? (Well, some of them anyway, ha.)

    Pretty quilts! I really like that blue four-patch. Cool idea to quilt the name in.

  22. Weston's quilt is very nice, love the blues in it! Of course men like it better... It's a simple design and you know most men are uncomplicated, hehe! Oh, and I think Weston will like his name in it very much!

    Neighborhood exchange... How fun is that?! What a cute idea to put a park in the middle of the neighborhood! Now that's gonna be a fun quilt when you get done, can't wait to see yours.

    Happy belated Anniversary! 35 years is much to be proud of!!
