Quilted projects! (for those who like to see them)

Posting the link is so much easier than uploading photos... so here you go

Quilted stuff!

Okay...it's been a long time since I've posted quilts here, so here are more finished within the last year.

Bargello

Hubby claimed this one.

Hubby needed a ragged flannel too.

My daughter requested a 2nd ragged flannel for Christmas last year--perfect for college. My new d-i-l also got a ragged flannel that year for Christmas.

Photo doesn't show true colors in this one--it's more buttery.

Beautiful Karla! I always smile when I see you've made another masterpiece.

I look at your work, I see much more than a quilt. I see a timeless skill, a beautiful object made with a lot of love involved. I feel my quilts need to be used and not just shelved or stored away as they do serve a purpose but handled with care so they can be handed down. Like I said they are timeless.

You do beautiful work. My mother was a quilter and looking at your projects makes me think of her, brings her near again. Thanks for sharing.

I'm impressed!!!! Lot's of work.

Love the horsey ones of course.

But also really like the floral ones.

All are so very nice.

How big are the horse ones?

No pics, yet; but being I've been snowed in off/on for 6 weeks, I've completed a baby quilt and a lap quilt and have several potholders in process (potholders are for quilt guild). And, I'm already thinking about the next lap quilt, perhaps another Yellow Brick Road, they are easy and I have lots of FQs to use up.

Wow, those are just gorgeous! I once made a quilt way back when and I know they are tons of work so I can't imagine working on all of those. You go girl!!

Those are 26" square. The original pattern is three horses with halters--and I made two of those--but I wanted to simplify it a bit. I like the look without the halters. One is being donated to a local horse rescue place for an auction--along with Thinking Outside the Block.

I can't wait to get the Bargello back from the quilters!

Today, I rewarded myself for (almost) finishing those projects by choosing the 20 floral fabrics I'll use for the next Bargello--I'll call it Wildflower Meadow. I also want to do the "Back to Nature" pattern this year--with Moda's Kansas Wildflower Seranade--and other Moda fabrics.

Beautiful!!! I always love your work! Your so inspiring, if I didn't have to work for the next 2 days I'd start on my "unfinished" projects!! LOL! I think I have 3 maybe 4 if I dig deep enough. I got a gift certificate to my favorite quilt shop for Christmas. I just went and they had all kinds of fabric at 2.00 a yard! I was in heaven! I picked up alot of older Moda fabrics just because the quality and prints were so wonderful. I picked up some to do a "Shabby/Victorian" quilt for my mom. It will happen.. when I'm not sure but taking the time and do it is what I need to do.

Beautiful as always!

Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome.

Modas for $2 a yard??? I've never seen it so low... what a treasure!!!
