My Quilts

Since everyone else is posting such wonderful pictures of their quilts for the book giveaway this week, I figured I better hop on the bandwagon and post mine!

When I was little, we lived in PA and used to go to Lancaster every summer for a few days. Those are some of my favorite memories from growing up. This is an Amish wedding ring quilt that my mom bought and it was hanging in our hallway until they sold that house and moved to Florida. Of all the these in that house, this is the one thing that I wanted for myself...and she made sure I got it! It is not in very good shape after years of wear and tear, but it's my favorite!

I've been told that this is an Amish "buggy quilt" that they use in their carriages when it's cold outside. It's not as big as a bed quilt. I found it packed up in some of my mom's things that they had left in storage. Quite a find, huh?

This is a store bought quilt that my mom bought me when I moved into my first apartment in college. Now it covers my daughter's bed.

This is also a store bought quilt that we got for Benjamin when he moved into his "big boy" bed for the first time. I can't believe that was 6 years ago! And it still covers his bed today.

This is my latest project ~ curtains for my French doors. This is really my first quilting project, so it's very simple squares. And since they're curtains, they're not getting any padding in the middle. My mother-in-law is helping me with these, but this last panel I have done completely on my own. I'll post a picture when they're finished and hung.

And these are the leftover squares from my curtain project that the winner of the quilt book giveaway will be receiving.

And I thought I'd include a picture of my patchwork teddy bear ~ I got it from my mom's things, too. Isn't he great?

Last but not least, if you didn't read my post about my heirloom quilt that my mother-in-law made me, check it out here.

Good luck to all of you who entered the quilt book giveaway! And thanks so much for posting your picture, I've really enjoyed seeing them. If you haven't entered yet, there's still time! I'm extending the deadline until Saturday 8/23 at midnight!

See my next post for details...

'Til then...
