I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Maybe I should show a Finished Quilt!
It occurred to me that I mostly show WIP's and that it might be thought that I never finish anything! It is very true, that I have MANY WIP's, as I do tend to start anything new that appeals to me....often thinking, oh I can do that in an afternoon, or a day.......hah! Doesn't happen that way! From now on, I shall try to show one of each! This is a darling little triangle quilt from a book "Bits and Pieces"......used the Dargate Botanical collection for my shop sample...have a few kits left I think.
Hello there! I'm new to the blogger community. I am a fairly new quilter. I started the love of quilting after reading Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilt Series and decided to learn during a grieving process for me.
It's turned into a love for all things quilting and a joy of friendships both online and in real life.
I LOVE your quilts and especially have a love for Log Cabins which are on my list to accomplish.
Cyndi, it's adorable and i LOVE it..your fabrics are gorgeous! the pattern is similar to the one i made from KT's book, Prairie Children & Their Quilts. cheers, Marian
So cute! I really like your header, too. There simply must be a log cabin in my quilting next year!
ReplyDeleteLove this little quilt, I might just give that a go soon lol.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any time to send me some pics of your Toile's Cyndi?
Happy Christmas
