My Quilts in the quilt show, and, recognition!

Some people have told me that I should have posted pictures of my quilts, even though most of you have seen them already.

First is Intertwined, the quilt I made for my son's wedding, last spring.

here is the back of Intertwined
Unfortunately, since there were so many quilts this year, they couldn't hang the quilt where the back could be seen, too.  There were some white glove ladies, who helped to show the back of the quilt.

This is my Guild Challenge quilt

Next is the hiking mini quilt I made hubby for Christmas

I also entered the 2nd Leg Lamp quilt I made.  The first was made for my step-father, and the 2nd one has been claimed.  Betty will get this in the next few weeks.  Sorry, for some reason, I can't find a good photo of this quilt.  For some reason, the photos I have on the blog are distorted.  I guess I need to take another one.

I also put two 'projects' in the quilt show.  First, one of the many sewing machine mats that I've made in the past year or so.

and last, but not least, one of the sewing caddies I've made.

Yes, all of these projects were made on my 1959 Singer Spartan hand crank sewing machine.


I told Timeless Treasures about the sewing chair that I recovered, using their faux selvage fabric.  Well, they have now posted about my sewing chair on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.   How cool is that!?!?!?  I'm not even on any of those things (I just blog, boring, I know).

The fabric for the chair was quilted on this treadle.

  1. I love your Intertwined quilt! The back is as pretty as the front to me. And I'm not active on Twitter or Instagram either. If I were, I wouldn't have time to sew. Your chair is spectacular!

    I think it would be great if you edited this post to add a picture of the treadle you used.
