Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden

 So pleased with my Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden!  It is made with one inch hexagons using 30's fabric.  There are over 700 hexagons in the quilt. It's a lap sized quilt so it will be used frequently!

Some of the fabrics are vintage 30's fabrics and some are modern 30's.  I used the 30's fabrics since the pattern for Grandma's Flower Garden was issued in the 1930's.  

My favorites are the vintage fabrics using, bunnies, soldiers, cabbage flowers!  It was such a joy to select the fabrics.  Special friends donated the vintage 30's for my project.  I hand pieced the hexagons and used free motion quilting to complete this quilt.

The quilt is named to honor my maternal Grandmother Maggie Steinert!  She loved flowers, was an excellent baker, and her crocheted items were marvelous!  Love and miss you, grandma!  

Lucy Boston Patchwork of Pieces Block #10

 I used Tula Pink fabric for the center of Lucy Boston #10!  Tula Pink has such a talent for selecting and the placement of colors.  I'm so pleased with the center!  Only purchased a fourth of a yard and had plenty.  I will use the rest, which might be a chore with the Swiss cheese fabric that's left, for half inch hexagons.

The other block colors in the block came from my stash.  When I began the Lucy Boston I decided that using the fabrics from my stash would be a priority.   Next block will favor green,

I chose to make a lap size throw.  There are too many other EPP projects to make large quilts! 

Lucy Boston Block # 9

 Block number nine went together faster than ever.  I must be getting use to EPP. 

Fussy cutting is so much fun!  This fabric had so many opportunities for fussy cutting.

The green in the fabric so needed the elongated hexagons next door.  Now onto number 10!

It is already to go, well it needs to be hand stitched.  It's Purple!  I used Tula Pink fabric.  Stay tuned for the reveal!

Spring Hexagon Tablerunner

 Ready for Spring!  I free motioned machine stitched my cute little 3/4 inch hexagon table runner with the patterns I will use on my Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden Quilt.  The flower garden top is complete so now I need batting and a back.  Shopping!!  

Here are some of the quilting details.  All the hexagons are made with 1930 fabrics.  Some are modern 30's and then there are some antique prints, bunnies, kittens and more.  The antique fabrics were a gift from a friend.

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out!  So looking forward to quilting my Grandma Maggie's Flower Garden Quilt using some of these designs.

Happy Valentine's Day

  A Heart filled with small blocks was begun in January 2020 and completed in January 2023!  Wahoo, a UFO (unfinished object ) completed!  The blocks are 3 inches completed, love tiny blocks. The patterns for the blocks were posted on Temecula Quilt Company Facebook page. 

It's a small table topper made with small bits of red, pink and a cute pink and white background.

Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses #8

 

Block number eight with a few more to go.... 

 Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses block #8 is complete!  The tones of this block remind me of fall.  Fall is my very favorite season.  Love the colors and the all the leaves.  I feel that the fabrics I chose for this block remind me of the textures of leaves and the colors too.  Really like the swirls in the  center of the block.  Now onto block #9!  

Charity Quilts

 Having so much fun working on Charity Quilts!  I purchased the Creative Grids Pineapple ruler and have made two quilts, one with 30's fabric and another with blue fabrics.

This quilt will be donated to Casa Teresa, a home for unwed mothers.  Love the teddy bear back!  Just too cute.

This quilt is made with the same ruler. Amazing right?  Love this pattern!  It will be a Prayer Quilt for a friends mother.  Already have red strips cut for a red and white quilt.

Love Scrappy Quilts

I love scrappy quilts and hexagons!  So a combination of the two is just grand!  Nancy is a very special retired lady who has dedicated her life to education!  She just needed a special quilt.

Still working on my Grandma Maggie's hexagon flower garden and my Lucy Boston Patchwork of crosses!  Just because I didn't have enough projects going I started this table topper using 3/4" hexagons!

With some embroidered daisy flowers!
