Pam Rubinos sent me an email with two finished quilts. Both are just fantastic!

First up, Aunt Millie’s Garden:

PamRubinos-AuntMillie

Pam says:

I finally finished my Aunt Millie’s Garden quilt. I recently entered my Backyard Birds in our Palmetto Quilt Guild quilt show and received an Honorable Mention. My name for this quilt is Not Your Everyday Backyard Birds! because I had so much fun being creative with my birds.  Loved making each quilt. Thank you for your inspiring patterns!

Here is Pam’s version of Backyard Birds. I love everything about both quilts. Thank you, Pam, for sharing!

Marian sent me another picture! The blocks are from our book, Backyard Birds.

Here’s what Marian said:

These were made by me when I first moved to Africa. I learned so much, like you can have 4 different background fabrics that aren’t matchy-matchy and how soothing hand applique can be. Also, a little whimsy make like more fun. My favorite fabric is the hedgehog leaves.

I really like her background choices, and the fabrics she used around the blocks. Together, they set off the applique perfectly. Thank you, Marian, for sharing you work!

Marian Phelps sent me this photo of her newly finished Magical Unicorn. Her story about the quilt (below the photo) is great!

MarianPhelps-Unicorn
As soon as I received the pattern I went to work. This was completed in November and it was a joy to work on.
I live in Liberia, Africa and have a limited stash so had to make do with what I had except the grass. Since I didn’t want to piece it I ordered more from Craftsy and the waiting…..most things take 2 to 3 weeks to get us.
She (my unicorn) is loved and adored by everyone who meets her! I tell her admirers that she runs around at nite and makes sure you only have happy dreams.
Thank you for a fantastic and magical project.
I just love this idea… that the unicorn brings happy dreams :-). Thank you, Marian, for sharing! And, gotta say, you chose really good fabric for the grass!
