The Wedding Quilt Pattern Book

Every Quilt Has a Story

The Wedding Quilt is my wedding quilt pattern, it’s my Dream Quilt. At the time of our wedding I made all my clothes and had not even thought of making quilts. But after the boys arrived, Husbands job moved us all around and being alone with little ones I found quilting.

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern Book
Writing The Quilt Ladies books I had one of the Ladies getting married, it was time for MY dream a wedding quilt pattern and that became a Wedding quilt to be designed and made by me. Our wedding colors were Red and White, so this quilt had to be red and white. 

I wanted this/my quilt to be both pieced and applique. At the time of making it I needed a hand applique project to take with me. Sewing all the units as in the quilt pattern and taking the leave blocks along in my bag, hand work as always with me. Included in the quilt pattern is hand appliques instructions, I needle turn my applique and how to use fusible web as your way to add leaves.

The hope had been to hand quilt this quilt top, that didn’t happen, life became complicated and this quilt was long arm quilted. It’s VERY nice, BUT in my heart of hearts…it should be hand quilted by me…just saying.

But, I still sleep under it just perfect and love everything about it.

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is really my quilt

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is made up of Twelve, 12” x 12” quilt blocks, each quilt block has stems and applique leaves in each corner. The outside border continues the pieced leaves, applique stems and leaves. Each quilt block is bordered so that quilting can to added with loads of space. This quilt has a finished size of 93” x 78”

The Wedding will NOT be on Kindle or Etsy. 

Every Quilt Has a Story – Perfect Square

Square Perfect a Quilt Pattern Book

This is a simple quilt pattern made with squares,  using just three colors, and doing it red, white and blue, the colors pop.
It’s not the red and blue, it’s the white that will make any colors POP.  You can use any two colors and white, result will be wonderful.

This quilt’s story started when we lived in Nebraska. Husband had a grocery store and always worked every holiday. After the boys left, I seemed to have very long holidays. This is one of the July 4th weeks.
Holiday parties and get togethers are not that much fun when you arrive hours late when Husband is available and others are about partied out. I have helped way to many hostesses clean up. After a few of those, I decided, home and make a quilt.

Nothing is REALLY as the Picture Make it Look

Nothing is as it seems.

The other morning I was chilled here in Florida and I was to lazy to get my own quilt and Husband’s was there…Isn’t it pretty. Well, yes…BUT

 Husband’s quilt is the softest quilt in the house.
That’s all about the fabric quality, (purchase the best you can afford)

I machine pieced it, say 1985ish, and tied it with yarn. It’s been washed and dried for YEARS and over all it looks pretty good.
All of us on our sites try VERY hard to make everything perfect, right lighting, right look, etc. etc.  The truth is NOT always perfect. 

star quilt pattern

The Quilt itself is pretty good but the binding has not faired well. Yes, it was doubled, machine sewn on and hand sewn down. BUT….

star quilt pattern

It’s not aging well, and that’s OK. (pic I would have shared, no one would see)
Husband wants it left just as it is and I will not be repairing it.
Remember, not all is as it seems.
