It's hard to believe summer is almost over. Temperatures have begun to drop. It has been in the 30s the past few nights. I actually threw another quilt on the bed this week.
 |
| I made this little Birdhouse Miniature Quilt using my favorite "Aunt Grace's" 1930s reproduction prints. Each tiny birdhouse has a vintage button perch stitched on front. The borders are hand quilted.  |
I am so inspired by the many embroidered pretties that so many of you have been sharing on your lovely blogs.
My favorite quilt shop has so many wonderful ideas and patterns available. I thought you might enjoy some of the shop samples...and, who knows, you may be inspired, too!
How I love tea towels! Aren't these the sweetest?
I am so fond of the old fashioned edgings.
RICK RACK...
POM POMS...
LACE...
HAND CROCHET...
They add such lovely finishing touches!
I had fun making this little "Aunt Grace's" Sampler Doll Quilt.
Don't you love all the Bubble Gum Pink prints?

| "Chloe's Quilt" I made this small Log Cabin quilt for my sweet little kitty, Chloe. She would curl up on it and nap in the afternoon sun. I only had her for five years. I lost her, suddenly, to kidney failure. I miss her so much! |
 |
| Yes...More of my favorite "Aunt Grace's" prints. I made this chubby teddy bear using strips and a crazy quilting method. |
I thought I better hurry and post this beautiful summer quilt.
It is a sample that hangs at my favorite quilt shop
"Sew Many Quilts"

Bend, Oregon

| Thank you for your warm visits and comments. I appreciate each one of you! |

I love the soft colors in the Sew Summery quilt. I get so excited and inspired but then I don't know where to start. I DID start my day at the quilt shop though.

What a beautiful post full of prettiness! I adore all your sweet quilts!! I love those tea towels!! Have a lovely week sweet friend! xo Heather
Lovely quilts. You are so skilled. Have a fine week.
I love the vintage prints too-that's the first section I go to at my quilt store. I am in awe of your pretty quilts, the birdcage one is so lovely! The whole post is pretty eye candy. I wish it was that cool here, still pretty hot in Tx(but so much better then last summer) Enjoy your fall weather!
Love, love, LOVE the birdhouse quilt and the log cabin! Fabulous, and now they are on my (long) list of quilts I would love to make some day too!
Oh my, in the 30s already?! It's too soon for that!
LOVE all of the quilted loveliness you've shown here, and especially that birdhouse quilt. Anything to do with birds and nature really speaks to me!
Hi there,
I am drooling as I browse through these lovely quilts ...how wonderful...
I'd really like to pop into your favourite quilt shop ... I just love shops like that.
We're still in 38-40s here in Spain and I am dying for a wisp of cool fresh air....its just got to rain soon!!
keep well
Amanda :-)
Yes, I just adore the tea towels! And your quilts are just the perfect combinations of color and design. Oh, how I wish I could quilt! I love, love, love the little bear!!! We are starting to get little cooler in the evenings here, too! I better start working on my crochet blanket again!
Blessings,
Susie
I came back to look at your tea towels and how you put the trim on the bottom! I have some red pom pom...I may try to add them to one! Hugs!
OH,what a talent! The birdcages are adorable!! I've never tried quilting, but I can see how much fun it is, you must have a great deal of patience! Great job!

I love the fabrics in Aunt Grace's Doll House Quilt. I have used several of them in quilts and my neighbor has a beautiful quilt someone made her with many of those fabrics. I didn't have time for quilting this summer, but making a quilt with all those fabrics is high on my list.
Thanks for the beautiful inspiration.
Dear Carolynn,
your little quilts are so adorable, I love the birdhouse one, and your Cloe, have spend happy ,cosy hours on its little bright quilt, sorry you lost her!
I made some few mini quilts ,many years ago, but after starting my shop selling dolls and ....here on my ground where we live- there are no more time for patchwork and quilting.
Thankyou for your sweet comment my friend.
Hugs,Dorthe
Carolynn, your birdhouse quilt is adorable. I have been collecting 30's reproduction fat quarters and watching for the perfect project. Looks like you have found quite a few projects to incorporate these charming prints.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my Labor Day postcard page.

Carolynn, I love your birdhouse quilt! So sweet that you made one for a kitty. Aunt Gracies are my favorite fabrics. I have a quilt started, but alas; I can't seem to get back to it. I remember seeing that summer quilt when we were there. I loved it also. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Hugs,
Jann
