I met a lovely woman last week.
Here is Bonnie in her sewing room with the gorgeous blocks on her design wall. (from a Quiltmania pattern)
I'm such a paparazzi! Thankfully she didn't mind one bit.
Here's a beauty she is hand quilting.
I think she will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe she made this one. (either her or her mother)
Incredible! Look at that fussy cut border!
Beautiful quilt!!
Her mother has recently passed away and I know she made these 1930's happy quilts.
Her mother's name is Shirley Wyngarden.
I don't make many quilts with 1930's fabric but I love them so much!
What a terrific batch of quilts. I also love that mom and daughter were both quilters!
Thank you Bonnie for letting me share on my blog.
This morning it is snowing- I had no idea it was in the forecast- well, it is winter....
Have a blessed week.
All those quilts are absolutely gorgeous! I love the one with the fussy cut border, but my favorites are the ones in the 1930 fabrics. What a fabulous treasure!
ReplyDelete¡¡¡ Impresionante !!! Gracias
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure trove of beautiful quilts! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. My Mom and Grandma Quilted but not like me! I love 30's prints, I bet her mom's are originals.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilts! I spotted those fussy borders right away and fell in love with them. The 30s are gorgeous too, of course. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! These quilts are gorgeous . . . every single one. I do have to say that the cheery colors and the cute theme of the one with the little houses made my heart skip a beat. It is so cheerful and happy . . . makes me want to sing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! What a fantastic little quilt show.:)
ReplyDeleteI quilted with a Shirley Wyngarden in Marshalltown Iowa. She made lovely quilts of all kinds and donated many to Hospice.
ReplyDeleteAh, that is wonderful! It is the one and same! I have a few of her books now and the label says she had an Iowa address.
DeleteMy mom, Shirley Wyngarden, lived in Marshalltown till 3 years ago when she moved here to Vancouver, WA. She loved her quilting friends there. We felt incredibly grateful to spend these past years together.
DeleteThank you so much for sharing this story and these quilts!
ReplyDeleteA fun quilt show - cheerful for a winter day! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, what gorgeous quilts. I love the houses one.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful quilts and tops! Great show & tell!
ReplyDeleteSo fun and beautiful quilts. I love the little bright Houses.
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks on the flannel board behind Bonnie. So the pattern is from Quiltmania? You wouldn't happen to know the name of it?? Inquiring minds and all.....
