Scraps..
Dont we all save them..
Ok .. I know some dont..
but I cant throw my tiny scraps away..
And Louise sure can´t either...
This is what she does with them...
...plaid ones....made into blocks...
she will soon have enought blocks for a whole quilt...
I know I long to see it!!!
...strips and odd piecs sewn together ...and she have LOTS of these ones too!!!! :o)
I promised you some pictures of quilts Louise have made recently...
so enjoy!!!!
The first one is the pink fourpatch quilt..quilted and just binding to sew on...
It is so gorgeous!!!Next one is from a Cheri Saffiote Payne pattern...
"Embrace the Day"I love how she uses her brights ...
Next one is made from a pattern...
"Mosaic flowers "or I think its called "Tesselations"...
Done in lovely ME fabrics...
Next one is a pattern made by Bonnie Hunter...
"Pineapple Blossom"Can you tell Louise loves brights...:o)
But I think this one is my favourite of them all..
her quilt made of shirts ...
Isn´t it just fantastic!!!!This makes me want to go home and drag out some shirts and get a go!!!
Tomorrow Im on my way home...
9 hours on the bus back North..
Have my stitching prepared...:o)
So when I come home on Monday..
I will wait for my Mum to come...

Oh thank you for sharing all those lovely quilts! Have a safe trip home, and enjoy the visit with your mom when she arrives :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the iron bed, such a clever idea. Oh my what gorgeous quilts, my favorite is the pink 4 patch, but they are all wonderful. Have a great time with you mum.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the quilts they are all so pretty. I am making a pineapple scrap quilt with my scraps but I have not worked on it in awhile, it is using all kinds of tiny pieces that I have left over in boxes. The bed is a cute idea.

The iron bed of flowers is a terrific garden addition and I love it. And I especially love the pink 4-patch quilt, it is something I could see myself making too. Enjoy the time with your mom. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip, Stina - I'm not at all into shirt quilts, but, oh, I do love that one!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline♥

ReplyDeleteI love Louise's quilts and yes, she does like bright colors! My favorite is the one made from shirts as well, Stina.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip home and a safe trip with your Mom as well. Make sure to take lots of photos!
A patch of sod filled with flowers is referred to as a 'flower bed'. So the iron bed has officially become a 'flower bed'. LOL It's delightful.
ReplyDeleteOh my Louise's quilts are beautiful - I love all of them. Very very talented friend, Stina. Thank you for sharing.
A surprise trip with your mom, I know she will love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for showing Louises quilts, they are so wonderful. Love all of them.

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely quilts, thanks for sharing Stina. And the flower bed is perfect. Hope you have an enjoyable ride home.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy Louise's quilt shows *s* And the flower bed it just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose are so lovely Stina. Now I am back too, I found the things I missed the most apart from Hubby and son were my new bed, lady grey tea, and a rose scented bath.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good journey back.
Love the bed by the way. On the farm we found an old bed head as part of the sheep pens so I turned it into a frame for sweet peas to grow up.
The quilts are awesome!! I love the iron bed!
ReplyDeleteTell Louise she makes georgeous quilts. I love the sparkling colours.

Oh WOW, Stina. Louse creates such beautiful quilts. I think Mosaic Flowers and the pink four patch are my favourites. The shirt quilt is very cool too. Hope you had fun with your Mum.
