What gorgeous quilts. Your mama was an artist. I love the wedding ring quilt whenever I see one and the one your mama made for Stacy is absolutely a work of art. I love the simplicity of the nine-patch - also my favorite. I need to get back to quilting. I have several quilts that need to be finished and put together. You've inspired me, dear friend. We're having very stormy weather - heavy rains and strong winds. This is a good time to have a quilt to snuggle under.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-52871194652021298222016-09-30T12:44:01.858-05:002016-09-30T12:44:01.858-05:00Love those new fabrics.

She has a whole closet devoted to fabric! She has made the wedding ring design, too. It's so beautiful. I am sure it will be years before I have the patience to make a quilt, but there is hope for me...yours are beautiful!Rustown Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970069327566577570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-88226804975381951712016-09-29T10:51:52.211-05:002016-09-29T10:51:52.211-05:00Is that blue china the Johnson Brothers heritage p...Is that blue china the Johnson Brothers heritage pattern?

Oh they are washed out from the original color they were. Nothing fancy at all but it means so much to me. My grandmother would crochet. She was slow with it but she loved it. She made me a king size bedspread once. It actually took her about 3 years to make it as she done it along and along and when she had the extra money to buy thread and have the time. I loved it! It meant so much to me. In 1984 my home burnt and we lost everything with exception of some pictures that was saved (Praise the Lord) and a few other things and of course my bedspread. I will never forget the insurance adjuster telling me I had to put a value on everything that I could think of that was burnt. I remember bursting into tears and saying, "How do you put a value on that?". Enjoyed this post so much. Love your quilt too~ Hugs and blessings, CindyCreations By Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652249357420269173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-89861456212686962132016-09-28T14:42:33.311-05:002016-09-28T14:42:33.311-05:00Beautiful collection of quilts and love the fabric...Beautiful collection of quilts and love the fabric you grabbed.

Also, my dear grandmother who was a quilter. I was blessed to get one of her quilts and it's a simple bow-tie quilt that I treasure. It has fabric pieces that were used in some of my outfits that she and my mother made for me way back when. My mother was a good seamstress but never made a quilt. I haven't either and I keep telling myself that I need to give it a try. I'd love to make one as I have a stash of material saved just for that purpose. I enjoyed your colorful photos.

The Wedding Ring one was gorgeous. Of course I think you are quite talented with quilts as well. Loved the Purple One (I thought it looked great) and you have a good eye for picking out fabrics for the quilts. Wish I was "crafty" like that but alas anything sewing related just wasn't my forte.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-2005512412948853162016-09-28T13:04:27.124-05:002016-09-28T13:04:27.124-05:00The quilts are just beautiful.

I LOVE your Debbie Mum quilt. I do simple quilts because I know I would never finish a more complex one, but I have to tell you,I love those simple quilts just as much as if they were fancy schmancy, and my kids and their spouses love them so much they grab one first thing when they come over to visit to snuggle up with. I am currently working on a special request quilt for my son in law in the Air Force. He wants one long enough to cover his 6' 4" frame without his feet hanging out. Lol. I can't wait to see your next quilt. It isn't how many pieces that matter, or how complex it is, it's the love you put into it :)Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244725793473368501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-600550299804507362016-09-28T07:25:39.703-05:002016-09-28T07:25:39.703-05:00Do you do your own actual quilting or do you send ...Do you do your own actual quilting or do you send it out to be done commercially?
