Prayer and friendship Quilt

 

A traditional quilt pattern: Star of Bethlehem, I made this quilt for two friends. Pieced and quilted by hand, all fabrics are from my stash. It makes 96cm x 96cm, and my friends received  their gift a few days ago.

"Ulu", Hawaiian pattern

I started quilting the "Ulu" Hawaiian small quilt (58 cm x 58 cm/ 22.5'' x 22.5''). It's my first time doing echo-quilting. I posted the beginning of the process on June 12, 2020. (http://patriciavalentini.blogspot.com/2020/06/ulu-hawaiian-pattern.html)

Bear's Paw Quilt

Bear's Paw Quilt

New beginnings. The Hexathon quilt is basted and it's waiting for cooler weather to be quilted.

I've been taught that you need 3 projects in different stages: thinking a quilt, piecing another one, and quilting a 3rd. 

So, I went to my list of « quilts I want to make », and I decided to go for the Bear's Paw pattern.

How to make it without buying fabrics? (I have enough in my shelves) Going out of my 'blue' comfort zone, I've chosen 'green'. I have no green quilts, so 'why not'. 

Springtime, lockdown is over (here), and bears are going outside.

1st quart of the first block.

Postage Stamps Quilt

Postage Stamps Quilt: I tried quilting and it worked, but I found it had too much information (so many fabrics, colors, and printing). So I finally decided to tie it (DMC #8 thread, 2 strands).

Postage Stamps Quilt: "The Quilt Shop" - Quilt Timbres Poste

February 15^th, 2020

I finished the top of the "Postage Stamps" quilt. With a small border, the finished top measures 40'' x 48'' (102 cm x 122 cm). I used a small piece of cloth, donated by a woman who came to our guest rooms in 2011, and I cut the part that shows a sign 'The Quilt Shop,' so this will be the name of the quilt.

J'ai fini le top du quilt “Timbres Poste”. Avec une petite bordure, le top fini mesure 40'' x 48'' (102 cm x 122 cm). J'ai utilisé un petit morceau de tissu, donné par une femme qui est venue à nos chambres d'hôtes en 2011, et j'ai coupé la partie qui montre le petit panneau “The Quilt Shop”; voilà, ce sera le nom du quilt.
