Acornator

We were visiting my family in Chicago last weekend. My daughter had some of my fall quilts out--some I had forgotten about.

When they lived in the burbs there lot had a ton of trees--most of them dropped acorns. So every fall my daughter had to get those picked up. I called her the Acornator and made her this quilt. I believe it may be a Bunny Hills design but not sure.

This was a fun quilt made entirely from my stash. It's a delight to work on quilt blocks that incorporate applique and embroidery. The date on the label says 2011--no wonder I forgot about it.

Sorry for the unclear pictures. There was not the best lighting.

Happy Fall to Y’all

Hooking up with Freemotion by the River as always. One of my favs for inspiration.

Her Name is Dot

We have a relative who has just moved to assisted living. She is such a sweet lady and I always envied her skills with a needle--machine or hand. She could tackle any craft project and make it look professional. No longer.

So here's where a quilt comes in. Her nickname is Dot and I've made her a I Spy quilt with some personal touches plus lots of fabric with dots.

She once owned a craft store name Raggedy Ann Shop.

Fruit ladies just for fun and a giggle.

 

And I always thought she'd enjoy Road to California that appears every January.

These are Bonnie Hunter's tile blocks from Quiltmaker Magazine last spring. See my blocks in progress HERE. Every time I find an interesting novelty fabric in my stash, I cut a center square. These blocks are so much fun to make.

Fond memories.
