Just going through Quilt Photo Files

Sampler Quilt Patterns

Setting a lot over the rehab of my knee and I have been going through old computer files, loads of old ideas, some quilt patterns and lots of quilt pictures.
After the old computer crashed (PLEASE back up your work…BACKUP your work) and the computer guy pulled everything off and it’s here on this computer under, recovered files, which makes me backup what I just backed up. Any way, I thought…What better time???

This is Grand #2 and he’s our Crazy Man and this is HIS Quilt ! He is a whole lot bigger now and the quilt is folded and on his top shelve in his closet, yes Grandma noticed ! 

Crazy Make Quilt Pattern

After finding Grand #2 had to find Grand #1. He’s even bigger than NOW! I love little boys heads shaved and the ears ! His quilt is one of my first sampler patterns, it’s One Quilt Block Twelve Ways. 
Twelve Quilt Blocks in One Quilt

No luck in the photo files finding Grand 3 and 4 but I’m pretty sure they are on another USB and I hate to say, “I can’t get up”  Next time Photo’s Grand #3 and Grand #4 are here too !

Florida Tea Towel Pillows

Just for Me

I have fallen in love with these pillows. 

I purchased two Tea Towels from Amazon, they are new, not antique, but they are wonderful. I added batting and quilted with large stitches. 

Added a backing, machine stitches three sides closed, filled with batting and hand stitched the bottom closed. 

All DONE ! !
