Marilyn, I really like the simplicity of the mourning quilt you made and the colors add to the meditative feel it gives to look at. A great practice quilt for a beginner like me.

I like it ,too! But it was a little shall I say...boring to sew ! Can't imagine doing it by hand, but
perhaps it would be like meditation to the mourner...ya think ? On to the next one !

Marilyn, Your little Mourning Quilt is just beautiful. Congratulations on finishing another one!

Well...don't know about the butt kickin'....as the pile is deep ! But here's another one done !
From the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle...we meet once a month at LQS...from Pam Buda.

Ritzy, I love the quilt! I want to know about the pine boughs. I can't tell if they are printed, painted, emboidered or if it it the fabric. I love them!

Lovely, lovely!
Y'all are kickin' the UFOs butts!

Ritzy I love your Christmas quilt - it's so ....Christmasy! The swag ribbons are gorgeous. The baubles and pine branches are inspired. You would almost make me think of doing another one....but maybe not. It was so big and so much work. But I do love those little 4-patches on-point. I learned a lot from doing that BOM. I hope you get it quilted by Christmas and display it with the prominence it deserves

Yours, too, Marilyn.

Thanks for the info Ritzy. The bows on the corners are just perfect. It's quite a pretty quilt!

Marilyn, your little quilt is lovely. My mom would drool all over that one--her favorite colors.

Yes Karen, the ribbon is appliqued. I did the pieced part of that border, then added the whole piece--straight seam. Then I went back and appliqued the ribbon. I did one set of bows for the corners and hated them and so I ripped them off and started again. I like the new bows so much better.

Marilyn - Love your little quilt! And congratulations on your UFO-busting progress! I love twister quilts and have one on my to-do list in my head. Some day....

Nancy

yes lovely hot autum colours, beautiful.

Love yours Ritzy too, I'd be so proud if I'd made that

Your little quilt reminds me of maple leaves in the fall, Marilyn... very pretty!
