Saturday Morning Post ~ Vintage

A vintage top quilted for Tava 

Hand pieced by her grandmother 

Made from shirtings, a few more vintage fabrics 

and muslin sashing with an interesting block

Wondering if there is a name for this block, anyone have an idea?

Backed with a flannel backing 

and quilted with a feather e2e

using a thread that matches the muslin

More finishes this week however, I am holding off with pix. The rest of the quilts finished this week will be going into our guild's quilt show in November. I will share pix after the show. Come and see them in real life, it's going to be a great show! 

236 quilts are registered to be shown
 the most recent count as of our guild meeting this week.

Yesterday we added one more vendor for a total of 16

 There will be lots of fabric, sewing machines, patterns, notions

plus baskets, beads and more! Just added a message therapist! 

Enjoy your weekend

Tot ziens, Jo

Vintage family quilt for Phoebe

This is a large quilt, made of blocks made by members of Phoebe's family. A few were made by hand, most were machine pieced. Lots of Y seams and bias edges in this one. Very unusual block and some wonderful vintage fabrics. No repros here...

This is one of my favorite fabrics with little Bambies :0) The variety of fabrics were incredible. All of the blocks were assembled and sashed by Phoebe's mother late in her lifetime of sewing. Blocks were made by aunts, cousins and mom, each one of them different. There were several family quilt tops and this is one that Phoebe chose. She is very happy to have this very special quilt quilted.

 Close ups of a few of the blocks and fabrics...

Quilted with a feather block design from One Song Needle Arts in a natural cream thread. I received an extra hug from Phoebe for this one! Thank you Phoebe :0)
