Choose your favorite 5" charm squares to make you own cute and scrappy My Town quilt!
It's time to get back to my blogging routine. I lost my computer charger and now that we've spent $50+ to replace it, I'm back in business. Believe me, I could kick myself for that loss, but it's time to move on. That said, I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the darling little art quilts I found just before "the big loss." This one is especially unusual. You have to really look at it to see that the hibiscus in the center actually extends out to the edges of the quilt, even past the first frame or two. How unusual and artistic is that? from Murray Johnston Art Quilts Most of these seem to be smaller quilts, but it's difficult to tell the size exactly. That's one of the problems with Pinterest. Well, that and the missing or broken links. I can't believe that I was so gun-shy when I first discovered Pinterest and now I have couple of boards with 1000+ pins! I suppose I got over my trepidation. Go by and visit my "heart, quilts" board and take a look. And if you'd like to see even more pins of fine art paintings, visit my "fine art, masterpiece" board. Happy Pinning, Mary
As the grandkiddos will say - 'Grammy, it's stinkin' hot!' And I respond, 'that's because it's the dog days of Summer'. (That's what my Great GrandmaB would say, so I guess that's where I picked that up, but wonder where that originated...) But it has been stinkin' hot... Good weather to stay in and stitch a little, for sure. As of last night, before the stroke of midnight, I finished my #SummerSpread #SewAlong quilt top!!!!!! 8/8/18, Summer Spread on the bed!! These last blocks were a little more splinted logs than whole logs At this point it's at 88 inches square - and I need to decide if I add another row or two. I did this sew along with Barb when I saw her #SummerSpread idea on Instagram... (here's her link to her blog - Fun with Barb) I used little pieces from trimmed logs to piece the last blocks together, and love that look. Lovely shirtings strips readied This last picture is how I prepped my strips for block making: A block center and logs stack, at the ready... I could stitch a block in a few spare moments, and it sure seemed to go together quickly! Now to decide how to finish it! Hope your Dog Days of Summer are going well.
This My Town quilt is made using 5" charm squares to create the adorable house and tree quilt blocks.
