Show & Tell Tuesday

Show & Tell Tuesday

I have two quilts to share today; both were made in 2008. 

On March 6, 2012 I shared a quilt called Twist & Shout.


This quilt is small, just 21" x 24".  When I was done I had A LOT of small triangles left over.  I didn't want to waste them so I decided to put them together.  I designed another small quilt called Pinwheel Play.

I am very proud of this quilt because it is one of the first I have ever designed.  It measures 28" x 32".



It was rewarding to be able to use some things that most people would have thrown away and turn them into something so pretty.


The next quilt was made in a class at Stony Brook Sew and Vac.  It is called Trip Around the World.

This is a pattern that has been around for a very long time but it was a new pattern to me.



This quilt is a little bigger than the last;  42" x 42".  


Next week I plan on sharing a quilt that is very special to me.  It involved a tremendous amount of work and will be highlighted on June 12, 2012.  I am proud of it and so excited to be able to feature it on my blog.  I hope I have whetted your curiosity and you will stop back next week to see it.

Until Next Time.....Happy Stitching!!!
