vintage fabric quilted clutch purses by me! :)yay quilts.
this saturday is international quilt day!
readers familiar with my little blog or shop might know that i'm quilting-obsessed, and so i'm especially delighted when i read of other fun quilters or quilt-lovers popping in to visit here!
yay!
i'm so lucky that my grandma, an expert quilter, inspired and taught me all about the joy of patchwork quilting, and our home we cherish the numerous handmade quilts by our various wonderful grandmas!
and if by any chance you have a sec, pop by the etsy voter this week, for an AMAZING array of quilted items up for voting! i'm HONOURED to be part of the nominees, alongside some of my etsy quilting heroes!
(those are my little vintage fabric clutches up for VOTING! yay!)
............................
AND i thought we'd start off the lead up to this fantastic international quilt day with a little quilting-hop!
please add your links below to one of your fave quilts, quilted items you've either made, or adore of someone else's. maybe it's a blog post about a fave quilt of yours, or an item from your own handmade shop! then we can all hop-along and revel in the quilted beauty!
have a fave quilting pattern?
or a you more of a modern-free-stylist?
yay quilting!

i once made a quilt with recycled fabric - it took a long time and drove my husband crazy! but i love it <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing International quilt day to my attention! I am new to quilting, with about 10 quilts under my belt (er, sewing machine). My favorite I have made is the triangle quilt that I posted a link to-it's my own design and I am proud of it! Another fav is Red Pepper Quilt's half square triangle quilt http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2009/07/finished-quilt-hooray.html

What a fun post! I linked Bug Jar Quilts by fellow Etsy seller MarysQuilts because I was a little bug hunter when I was a kid and these tags are just too cute!

Those are beautiful! I have never attempted quilting but would love to someday soon.
