Barb's's Quilts....

gotcha!! 

Sharing a couple of quilts today, both were made by

a "Barb".  One lives in CT and

the other lives in MN!  How funny is that??

Barb in CT delivered this beautiful quilt that just brightened up

my quilting room!  I loved having it and it was a dream to work with.  Barb

is a blogger and you can visit her blog it's:

A Corgi to Quilt By

Checked on her today, and she's showing another fun quilt, looks

like Halloween at her house!  It was fun to meet Barb and her hubbie when

they dropped off this quilt. Here's a couple of pictures of her

beautiful quilt.....

My second Barb from MN sent me this drop dead orange quilt!! 

 It was so fun, I loved the colors and fabrics that she used.  I think I

can tell you that it's a quilt for her hubbie, he probably doesn't read my blog.  

The quilt is an anniversary present that

she has made for him, orange is his favorite color. 

  Their 11th anniversary is in November, so it will be

11-11-11 for their 11th!!  How fun is that??!!

Barb told me that she is a new quilter and found this pattern at

Patchwork Times the pattern design is called Peaches and Dreams. 

Barb mentioned that she didn't use all of the borders, she didn't want

the quilt to be that large. Barb did a fabulous job on this quilt and

I know her hubbie is going to absolutely love this gift!!  Here's

a couple of pictures.....

You can see a couple more pictures of these wonderful quilts

Quick Post - Quick Quilt!!

Things are moving faster than fast this week.  I've had something every single day and looking forward to tomorrow when I head down to Manchester to attend the: World Quilt Show .  That is a link to the most pictures from the shows.  I hope to have some pictures of my own to share when I return.

Have you all heard of the 1600 Quilts?  Here's a link to a fast and fun video: Heirloom Creations. Heirloom Creations has done a wonderful job on this video and it's so much fun.  The quilts can be made with Jelly Rolls or Bali Pops.  Here's a picture of the one that I just put together yesterday, and yep it does take less than 3 hours to complete start to finish.  I used straight seams to connect the strips end to end, you can see from the video others have angled them.  Here's the pic...

The quilt works best with the Jelly Rolls and Bali Pops because you have a complete fabric line included in the quilt.  It makes for a fast throw size quilt, absolutely perfect for someone that you would like to make a quilt for, but not invest all of the precious time that it would normally take.

Here's a peek at a couple of quilts that I did some time ago for Pat in VA. Her blog is Artfully Ooflebloops, hop on over and let her know you've seen her quilts. These are the scrappy of scrappy quilts.  She picked these interesting quilts up at a thrift shop.  They have enough character to definitely make them interesting. 

As always I've posted more pictures over at my other blog:

If you haven't signed up for my giveaway, you still have time.  You can read about it here.  If I don't post before Monday, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
