The Quilts I Forgot to Upload

Lilli's quilt my grandaughter ,who is 9 years old. It will be put away till she grows up as it took 2 years to embroider, I am currently doing one for Livvy our other grandaughter for when she grows up.(if I leave it too many years my eyes will not do the work).
This is an apple quilt with farm animals as well, very simple but bright.


This is a tribute to all the ladies that love shopping and shoes it is quite comical ,and i usually do not do bright colours I am a shabby chic girl,the border is actually lots of lanterns hanging and the colours were exactly the same as the colours in the quilt so of course I had to have it.


These next 2 quilts are done very quickly called 6 squares. It actually consists of 18'squares, each that are made up of 9 smaller pieces all different dimensions.This pattern is from a lady that says if you have 6 fabrics of 30cms you can make a quilt and this is true as you can see.If you use bright colours or black and white for eg you would never think it was the same pattern it is really good for a quickie.The lavender one I made for Mum for her sunroom.
These quilts are the ones I made for the quilt day we had mentioned in an earlier post and I had forgotten to upload them(thanks for reminding me sweetie)Other than Lilli's they are not my best work but we wanted some quilts to show people that it can be easy you don't have to do complicated patterns to enjoy quilting, people could see that with limited time and knowledge you can still end up with a pretty quilt,the ladies shopping one is actually a panel and it is stitch in the ditch quilted and some borders added.
Have a restful night and be blessed for you are special.

  2. Hi
    Thanks for your comments on my blog shop. I love the little gift cards, they are mini works of art. I did very well regarding prices, that little card was only 40p! My best buy was from a local car boot, where I got a whole box full for 10p. My face must have been a picture!
