vampeys, great quilts. Ive made 100s but never in response to cancer or anything elsetragic in this world. I bet they were very therapeutic for you.

Gailmary - It was hard to make the quilts, I did the tops back in December and cried a lot while doing it. Do you quilt your own? The breast cancer quilt I did as a Quilt as you go, the rest I have taken to a longarm quilter. I find I have trouble trying to do them on my little machine.
sm627 - I plan to keep the other one. I was thinking I am going to need another quilt rack if I keep anymore quilts that I make, running out of room! haha

Vampeyes, fabulous idea with the t-shirt quilt (and that comes from the wife of a Tar Heel 😁)! That is such a beautiful way of using his favourite t-shirts and honouring him at the same time.

yes i quilt my own. I've made a few hundred quilt tops. I started hand quilting 35 yrs ago but now use my longarm. I dont do quilts for competition. I teach so some for class samples and others for donation for the group of ladies I lead at church.
Talk about ruunung out of room to store them! I just got my Second free standig double clothes rack from a store closing. Both racks are full. I plan to put some for sale on facebook or etsy soon.

Feeling feeline - thank you, there are definitely lots of memories in those quilts.
Gailmary - I would love to see pictures of some that you have done! Two full racks, my goodness that is a lot of quilts! I just started my next project, I have a couple tractor panels I am turning into lap quilts.

vampeyes. Those panels are attractive- either cute or beautiful and you can do so much with them. I started quilting before the were available much. I use the rotary cutter to cut an assortment of squares triangles etc and machine piece, then machine quilt. I like traditional styles and some modern.
This is my latest. A little more work than I usually do anymore. Most people prefer something simpler.

Gailmary - Wow! Did you paper piece those? The detail and precision, I wish i had your talent!

thank you all. I should have marked thread as a favorite.
No vampeyes it is not paper pieced. I am an expert piecer after making dozens a year for over 30 years. It is my own design
I found a star pattern i liked then modified it and added borders of my choice. Paper piecing it would have been far more challenging for me.

Feathered star is on my “someday” list. I still get frustrated with my inaccuracy. I DO like paper piecing and might could manage that. I have too many UFOs right now

Melissa, paper piecing is great for you then if you have trouble with accuracy. I dont know that there is a paper pieced feather star pattern though. Could always start it and just ex pect to rip those bad seams. You might actually get better working on a challenging piece. Thats coming from a 30 year quilting teacher.

Hi all,
It’s so nice to see all of these really pretty pieces, and such diversity! I have been wool painting (felting) and here are some of my pieces

Wow Posey, beautiful. All so strongly suggestive of seasons. Can feel the dew on the web and the wind in the branches!

PoseyGirl, they are great!! Well done!!

Thank you ladies
. I don't think water colours are any easier than the wool painting. I love water colour pieces! For some reason, though, it never attracted me in terms of being a medium for me. But I just love love looking at them.0 -
Posey those are fabulous! Love them!

Such amazing artists here! I have recently fallen in love with girih, Persian geometric art. Even though it is more commonly found in architecture or tiles, I love the look for paints too.
