Ha! That would be Queenie doing a little show and tell at Saturday’s
meeting of the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild.
This was my first time to a meeting and was a wee nervous…
I was brave, went out on a limb and brought my latest finish for the group’s
show-and-tell. I had a lovely time with
a great bunch of quilting folks. (Silly Queenie for being nervous)
Now it’s time to show and tell with you…
Quilty Flowers Peeking
Through is made with a pattern called Fresh Connections from the Windham Fabrics website. Pssst... Its a free pattern, quite easy to piece (intermediate level), and packs a visual punch.
The majority of the
fabrics are lovely Civil War reproduction fabrics I purchased at a local quilt
shop called 3 Dudes Quilting.
I really like all the
interlaced squares.
A sort of garden lattice
with a bit of an M.C. Esher influence…
Which lent itself to a
bumper crop of quilty flowers peeking in and all about. (Click on any of the photos for up-close viewing)
Next up on my Innova long arm
quilting machine are two wee seasonal wall quilts beautifully pieced by the
awesome Queenie Mother.
April Showers, which I
quilted with blustery Pooh Bear corner wind and rain drops in blue varigated
thread…
And, May Flowers which I
quilted with fun sunflower seed centers, quilty flowers and leaf-like filler.
Queenie’s been thinking
of late, that she really needs to name her Innova longarm quilting machine…
He’s definitely a boy…
very gentlemanly… always dependable...
I’m leaning toward the name “Owen”... Your thoughts?
What name do you think
would be good for my dream machine?
Until next time…
Have a great day!

Nope, no need for you to worry, quilters seem to always be friendly happy people! Your quits are just so beautiful. I bet some of the other quilters were coveting your skill! xo Carole
Oh yes, Owen is a good name for Mr Dream Machine.
Wow, love them all. I adore the fall colors in the first one. Glad you had a good time!
This is a beautiful quilt. And I've always found that woman who quilt are generous of spirit and most generally kind. And if they aren't they just keep quiet.
This is stunning. Love what Queenie creates. Oma Linda
I am in love with that first quilt!!!!
Such beautiful quilts! 'Owen' sounds like a good name for your quilting machine. Or...maybe 'Lance-a-Lot' ... you know, because his needle ... ummm, no. This is heading in a direction I wasn't intending, lol!
Blessings,
Victoria
Ah what a sweet sweet lady you are! The beautiful warm colour on your quilt! So homey :)
love them all and the rainy day wall quilt is truly my favorite. xo
Beautiful! You are putting that long arm to good use! ;)
Lovely finish Queenie! And I recognize those two small quilts - I've made the umbrella one and the other is on my list of to-do's. Your mom did a great job! As for naming your machine - it should definitely be Sir Owen if it is to serve the Queen Herself!!!
great work Queenie! you are so talented you should bravely show your work every chance you get! xo
Lovely quilts and quilting. Thanks for the link to the free pattern. I really like this one! :) Pat
