A BASKET

O R

A TEAPOT ? ? ?

Another Beginner's Quilt

Every Quilt has a story - - - - this one is no exception - -

My THEME for this quilt was a "quilt full of baskets" - - - however, to my amazement - - 'one of the girls in our family - - -
as she was admiring this quilt - expressed such delight in my

'quilt of teapots'.

The more I look at this quilt - - -She is absolutely correct - - - I see both baskets - - - and teapots - - - So, I like this little comical evaluation !

This quilt resulted in being the size of a King-Size Bed. Material was obtained from old tattered and worn clothes I had stacked away. Look closely, you may recognize one of your garments !

You'll notice each 'basket' is full of yellow flowers - - - This is pieced - - not quilted - - when it is quilted I will use a yellow back for the quilt.

Stay tuned - - - - - - - - - I'll be posting a Pix of my next quilt soon - -

which actually reveals more quilting skill progress !

May you find peace and joy in those steps you take this week !

A Beginner's First "Bow - Tie"

My First Quilt

Look closely and you will depict the design of "The Bow Tie."

Here it is ! ! !

Yes - it's definitely a 'beginner' - but I"m very happy with it !

The word quilt has been a word of action in my family for decades. In today's world, people quilt as a hobby - - - in the earlier days, my grandma and her Sunday School friends would quilt as a necessity. Oh how I recall those winter evenings when Maw-Maw would piece several quilts - - - and during the Spring, she and her Sunday School friends would quilt on her screened in back porch. Quilting was not complete for those ladies without leaving with a fresh homemade jar of Maw-Maw's preserves - or jelly - or bread and butter pickles - - and even home-made butter. Those ladies would quilt at each of their houses until all the display of quilts were completed. Ahhh - - those were the days.

It's many years since those days - - but I have become a beginner in quilt-making - - resulting in 3 made quilts.

Stay tuned as I will be posting pix of the other 2 quilts.

They serve as a step of motivation as I begin my other quilt ! !
