HAPPY THE HOME #4

The last of a two-year project to make mini-quilts to use to decorate the tables for our 60th wedding anniversary/hoopla/celebration/reception is finished.  The celebration will be on September 8th, and I now have more than enough little quilts to use for the party.

This one is small at 16 inches square so I think I will use it on the guest book table

This is the fourth version of this half log cabin block that I have made over the years.  The simple block can be arranged in several orientations to produce secondary patterns.

THE STATS:

"Happy the Home, #4", 2018, 16" x 16", Machine pieced, Machine quilted.

Not much quilting will be going on here in the next couple of weeks, as I am pretty well bogged down with preparations for the party.

This is the prototype my granddaughter and I came up with to decorate the 15+ tables -- a small quilt on each table with wooden boxes, made by my husband; and holding Mason Jars with raffia and garden flowers.

TIME WOVEN IN #3

  Time is fast approaching for our 60th wedding anniversary hoopla/celebration/reception (three more weeks)!  For the last couple of years off and on, I have been working on small quilts to use on the 15 tables with garden flowers for decorations.  This summer I finished this watermelon pink version of "Time Woven In".

Our small hometown is world famous for its melon production, and every year since the late 1800s celebrates the harvest with a fair and a give away of watermelons.  We got married 60 years ago on Watermelon Day weekend; and the bridesmaids dresses were watermelon pink!

 

 This is the third time I have made a version of this pattern; and it is always fun and quick to put together.

 This striped fabric I used in the setting blocks was purchased in Nashville on a teaching trip for American Quilter's Society.  It happened to be on hurricane Katrina week, and I had a difficult (and scary) time getting home with all my quilts and class samples.  

Therefore --- another quilt full of memories!

"Time Woven In #3", 2018, 24" x 24", Machine pieced and Machine quilted.
