Just short of a dozen more little quilts from the past to share with you today. Enjoy!

I have collected several little doll beds over the years. I like using them to display my little quilts. Years ago, I also picked up this china doll.

My cousin had one like this when we were kids and I loved it. So when I got the chance as an adult, I bought one!

My kids were not so thrilled, as evidenced by this note I found one day when I was changing the quilt on the doll bed she was resting in.

Bahahaha! It was Daughter #2. I kept it because it always made me laugh. Apparently when we moved, I had the doll and the note also packed in one of these cabinets with my little quilts.

You can just see her green dress there at the top!

More little quilts to come. Have a great day!

I always loved 30s quilts. Here are a few mini quilts I’ve made in this style over the years. Enjoy!

What do you do with all of your small quilts? Quite a few of mine are stored in two little antique French cabinets.

I have a very busy week and not much time in the sewing room. So I thought I’d share just what is hidden in here. It will take several posts.

First, a bit about the cabinets themselves. My parents purchased them at a flea market in France when they visited us there in 1999. We lived there for a couple years and brought them back to the states in our household shipment. My mom gave them to me when she sold her house. Here are some of the quilts inside.

You may have noticed that my cabinet was missing the knob. We removed them when we moved to AZ and I could never find them! Until I took these photos. They were tucked in between quilts.

That’s better!

More quilts and another story coming soon.

Have a great day!

So I got a bunch of squares cut. I have no idea how many. I may have leftovers, or I may need to cut more.

And this is where I’m headed with this project.

It could take a bit to get it to a good size throw quilt.

Have a great day!

Still playing with rocks. I decided to try my hand at making g some crosses.

The gray one broke so it’s shorter than it should be. Cutting rocks is a skill that requires lots of practice!

So true!

We’ve been enjoying spring blossoms.

And a poem from a favorite author.

Have a great day!

Since I started working on a quilt with a panel, I thought I’d share this one I made ten years ago. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Grant and Lee

I’m calling this one, The Get Along Quilt. Have you seen the internet pictures of the two kids wearing a single t-shirt that says “Get Along Shirt” on it? The idea is that they have to wear it until they can get along and play nicely together. I was reminded of that with this center panel. In this case, Grant and Lee seem to be getting along quite well!

Or maybe they are just giving each other the silent treatment.

In any case, the picture above  shows the quilt before washing and the rest  after.

The last time I did a panel quilt, I quilted around the images in the panel. I wanted to do something differently here so I used a cross hatch. I also used invisible thread on this part. I didn’t want them to look like they were in jail.

I am most pleased with the border quilting on this one. I will definitely do this again.

The fabric on the back is a Mary Koval print that I picked up out in AZ.

My foyer is a bit tight and I can’t get a straight on shot, but I wanted to show you where I decided to hang this.

And one last shot on the fence.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day

I got distracted. This time my my OWN leftovers!

I’ve had this vintage quilt pinned on Pinterest for ages. The image went to a dead link so I don’t know the source.

When I found some leftover diamonds, I wondered if I could come up with a similar effect on a much smaller scale.

Hmmm…. It needs some tweaking.

Have a great day!

Here are the last photos from the show. Enjoy!
