I received this lovely photo on January 24…

Carolyn says that she started this quilt in 1998, finished it that day. She has made a lovely version of the Simply Delicious pattern. Very nicely done, indeed!

Sara sent her version of my Tree O’ Life quilt. She says:
I started this in 2012, finished it but forgot to send you a picture. I had “Live well” but changed it to “Love God”. There were a few things I messed up on, but went ahead and just went for it! I figured you and the other people who buy your book would be the only ones to notice.
After Christmas I’ll hang it back up. It has a place of honor in my home.
Thanks for your lessons in the gray shades of gold for the background.
Sincerely,
Sara

I actually don’t mind one little bit when a quilter changes one of our patterns and makes it her (or his) own. That’s part of the fun of quilting! Congrats to Sara for doing just that and for finishing her wonderful quilt!

Jean Temme sent me this photo of her newly finished Christmas quilt. She took elements from two of our Christmas books and mashed them up into this very cute quilt. Way to go, Jean! I love it!
FYI: the Santa, sled, reindeer and stars are from Welcome To The North Pole. The rest of the quilt is from Quilt A New Christmas, which is out of print. I still have some copies in stock so if you want this book, don’t wait too long.

First, don’t forget that Linda’s Quilt Auction ends tomorrow, Tuesday 11/11, at 12:00 noon Mountain Time.
I’ve received some show and tell pictures in my inbox! Nadia Massoni sent these photos of her version of Magen’s Flower Garden. I love the colors and fabrics she used and the quilting is perfect! This is a quilt that makes you smile.
Barb Marshburn sent this photo of her Spring Wheels quilt. She was working on it during the Independent Study class that I taught at Empty Spools last year and I knew it was going to be a wonderful quilt. The colors are so happy and the quilting sets off the design—way to go, Barb!

I have received photos of 3 very different quilts made from Piece O’ Cake patterns recently. I think you all will enjoy seeing them!
The first quilt is Magen’s Flower Garden made by Nadia M., in her own colors. It’s so pretty and I love the way she coordinated the colors between her hex-flowers and the central fabric.
Linda S. wrote to say that she just finished making Welcome To The North Pole for a friend. She says that this quilt was so much fun and she knows the recipient and her friend will enjoy it for years to come. I would add that everyone who sees it will enjoy it!
Mannette A. made the next quilt. It’s not from a Piece O’ Cake pattern but she said:
I’m including a pic of my finished quilt that is my first appliqué project. This quilt is hand pieced, appliquéd, and quilted. I would NEVER have attempted the appliqué if it weren’t for your tutorials and advice (not to mention supplies)
Thank you so very much!
Didn’t she do a great job! And, even though I don’t make them often, I’ve gotta say that I do love to see a quilt made solely from neutrals.
Thank you each for sharing your quilts with us!
