This first quilt was made by Candy C of New York, and Quilted by Michelle O of Greeley. She used stars and pictures of National Monuments... there was the Statue of Liberty in there - too cool.
This nest star one is an applique quilt. It was made by Sue of my Heartstrings group. She made in in honor of her father, a WWII vet.
It was Quilted by Liz T in Northglenn CO. Liz rocks....
Liz also quilted the next quilt... it was pieced by Jane in Greeley. Jane goes to my church and one day handed me a bag of these great quilts!!!
Another lovely combo... pieced by Jane and quilted by Liz!! These fabrics were pretty coolt o check out!
I think I might steal the idea for this one... its like a coins quilt, but different. Again it was made by Jane and Quilted by Liz. This quilt went into the Women's Combat Group . I think it was loved!
She did some ribbon quilting on it.... lovely
And again - a puzzle quilt pieced by Jane and QUilted by Liz.
This very last one was Liz's Idea. She found a really cool quilting design so wanted to see what it would look like.... so here is the front... I really hope you can click on the picture and make it larger!
A close up of the front.
And a close up of the back.... It is quilted in red, so the pattern really stands out. Liz made this in honor of her husband - and veteran as well!.
Hope you enjoyed seeing these quilts this morning!! I am getting inspired to get back to my sewing room now.. This week 66 Quilts of Valor were taken to their respective destinations. 60 went to Fort Carson, and 6 went to the VAMC... I have a few pics to share later.
Wow, what a neat way to start the day to see such a nice assortment of quilts! That string star quilt looks like fun, mmmm....
ReplyDeleteI love every one of these quilts. Great job, toppers and longarmers!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful eye candy! Everyone is doing a great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great show, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSeems like everytime I visit your blog I want the pattern for something. This time I'd like the pattern of that heart star from the heartstrings quilt group. Is that available? As a brand new longarmer, does anyone have tips on how to keep the lines straight from my panto that has stars on it? It seems I'm much better tracing curves w/the laser but my stars are wavy in their lines. I think I'm going to try to run the laser along a ruler to trick my brain lol!
