Quilts! Quilts! Quilts!

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.

Missouri Road Trip Finale

I found this blog post I never finished! Here it is!

I made plans to meet up with Jessica, who works for Missouri Star and lives close by. 

She is fun and a talented quilter!

Oh yeah, she collects quilts too! She didn't mind that I paparazzied around her house. 

Works in Progress- Super organized!

We even got to shop her stash! hahaha

We had a little time before we needed to be at the airport and made a bee line to Quilter's Station in Lees Summit. 

So many reproductions and a very nice store!!

Thanks for traveling along. 

 

Quilts on the Lawn (Repost)

This is a repost of a fun and quilty trip to WA- my road trip friend Laurie had a little show! 

About now I should be immersed heavily into Roman History! 

This wasn't a quilt on the lawn but it sure was a cute little quilt made with antique fabric that Laurie made and hung up for us to enjoy. 

 I went to Seattle with my friend, Michelle, on the left, picked up Juliann, on the right, and made our way to Marysville where Laurie (center, in blue) had a quilt show of Anthologie quilts. The weather has been beautiful and hot but all of a sudden the forecast for that one day called for rain! So, she did what any resourceful woman would do, she did not cancel but moved the quilts from the lawn to the garage.

Her property is the perfect setting for a quilt show. I'm going to encourage her to make this a yearly event!

How cute is this little building?

I'm sorry, I do not know the makers of all the anthology quilts. You can get more info on this quilt HERE. I do know Laurie made the adorable ribbons that adorn the quilts.

Laurie's quilt is the one to the left of the bright green one.

She had lovely vignette's to draw us in for a closer look.

I'm a repro girl through and through, but isn't this magnificent!?

This is her sewing studio!! It is just as cute on the inside!

I know Laurie doesn't mind, but I did snap a few photos in her house. It feel so relaxed and charming! I really love it.

Look at this amazing antique quilt!

And seriously, this is the back!Yes, it is pieced!!

I met some lovely ladies and JoAnn from Quilters Coop opened her shop for us which is located close by! Thanks for helping Susan!

These beautifully decorated cookies came about the time we were preparing to leave. So super cute!

Thanks Laurie for sharing the lovely quilts, antiques, and introducing us to your fun friends!!

I hope ya'll are off to a fantastic week!!

Donna's Quilts Part 2

I kept thinking, "this is my favorite" oh wait, maybe "this one is my favorite" 

Obviously we like the same patterns and I love them all!

Enjoy the quilt show!

I'm so inspired and hope you are as well!
