First Friday at Quiltworks

I was honored to be the featured quilter last month at Quiltworks. I went over on Friday to pick up my quilts and see the latest quilts for First Friday.
This was one of my favorites, done all in wool! What a beauty!
Another fun quilt in wool.  Look at the adorable label.
Red and white is always classic. Most of these blocks were old ones she had saved and made into this quilt.  I love how 5 of them have their color reversed.
Here was a whimsical quilt that had a lot of 3D elements. And, that is hand quilted by the way!!
Here was a classic beauty- hand quilted too!

Marilyn put a call out for monochromatic quilts



I can appreciate them, but it has reaffirmed my desire to NOT do one! lol

  4. I think I have enough wool now that I could do both of those first two quilts. *LOL* They are great--very different from each other, but I love them both.
    The hand quilting is gorgeous--as are the quilts to which it is applied.
    Monochromatic? Are you kidding--I have such a hard time limiting my palette, I've never even done a 2 color quilt. : )

  7. Oh nice mini quilt show! Are the wool appliques stitched to wool or cotton?
    I have a wool quilt I have mentally designed that is dying to get out!
    Thanks for the inspiration and
    Happy Sewing

  9. I like monochromatic quilts but I always balk at making one myself! I'm afraid I'd never get it finished!:)

  14. oh! Thank you Lori for sharing. It is so nice to look at all those beautiful quilts (wish there were more). :) I have never done a wool quilt before but if you keep showing them off I just might give it a try. They are so beeeeaaaauuutiful. I think the one with the bears would make a good first wool project. (Not too many smaller pieces.) Again, thanks for sharing.

  17. Lovely show and tell Lori. So many beautiful quilts to admire. They can be admired without the need to make them. It frees up time to make the ones that do get on the ever growing list.
