Drum Roll! I see that Dawn's quilt Eye of the Storm has been selected as Quilt of the Day! Congradulations! It is beautiful and so creative. Very well designed. The description says it is still under construction. Were you able to get it finished?

OMG!! They are so cute!

Thanks for the smile Ritzy. It's good to see you around.

A new wrestling move?

This one I labeled: Dude, can you believe she dresses us like this.

Sorry I thought these would show--if you don't mind going to the sites--they are pretty cute.

Carol--my grandson thinks I am a genius because his quilt is so great--on the cotton side when he is too hot--flannel side when he is cold.
Welcome Beabry.
Picture of the twins in a bit.

My aunt and I did, yes. They saved fabric from their mom's clothing when she passed, and my aunt wanted something made with meaning. She suggested a tree, but also wanted a bed runner, nothing large. So I hopped on EQ7 and searched trees, found that one, and we designed it so that each tree has one fabric for the leaves, with the mom tree having leaves from each sibling tree (there are 6 kids). The mom tree has the red trunk, as that was her favorite color, and each kid tree has a red leaf (placed in the spot of their birth order as I was appliqueing the leaves). I quilted the trees with red for the same reason.

It is simple fusible applique, then the quilting stitches further hold it down. Center leaf vein in each leaf (and outline), and a heart etched into the tree trunk along with wood grain around it on all the tree trunks. Leaf vine in the border, with hearts on the corners. Stippling/meander in the background. It was a lot of fun, and my aunt fused the fusible to the fabric, then cut out all the leaves for me, thank goodness!

I love making things with meaning, and she'd seen that from my facebook posts, so specifically asked me to do this rather than her sister, who has done a few simple patchworks for the other sisters with their saved fabric. This aunt, and my mom, both wanted something a little more than that, so I'm happy to help with it. My mom is coming next week and we'll do hers -- she wants a bookshelf quilt, with the book spines being the clothing fabric. It's all planned, the fabric all sorted, and we'll work on it together, so it should go smoothly.

What a sweet table runner Heather; your aunt will love it.
Carrie, your DH will enjoy his new quilt too.
Thanks for sharing
Have a great week-end everybody - I'm off to a real sewing retreat this week-end with my two girls. So excited
Marianne

That's fun Heather. Did you design it

Awesome Heather! Your aunt will love it!

Finished the quilting on my aunt's little bed runner, and have sent her a picture and a query as to when she wants to come get it. As it's all I've done that is showable (the other was the row robin stuff), here is a final picture of it.

Tomorrow, I start cutting for my son's graduation quilt. Gulp!

Unusual panel Carol. Love that your giving it a cosy back
