Celebration Quilts


I've seen this before but it tickled my funny bone again when I saw it framed and hanging at Quiltworks in Bend.

 The other side of the First Friday Event highlighted Celebration Quilts.

This was simple but so whimsical and cute!


 This one made in the liberated style was by Kristen Shields, who will also be the featured quilter during the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show this year.
Considering we just celebrated Independence Day with fireworks I loved this one!!

  1. I love the love quilt and think that would make a nice design for charity quilts.

  4. People that don't make quilts really don't understand the concept of a fat quarter. I remember when I first heard the term, I had to ask what was meant. I can remember looking at Keepsake Quilting catalog and studying the measurements for a fat quarter and a fat eighth and wondering why people would want to buy fabric by those measurements.

  6. Oh that Sister show always looks so inviting! What great fun! And the quilts you are sharing are wonderful. Now what about the oldies you always manage to find? I could use some inspiration!
