Kirsten and Edna Quilts

Jane here.  My friend, Kirsten, has made another strip quilt.  This one she stitched-in-the -ditch instead of quilt-as-you-go.  She tells me it is for a friend who needs a quilt for her granddaughter.  Well this one is just right.  I took the photo of Kirsten and her quilt.

It has been raining here today, so we stayed in and tidied up, vacuumed, and worked on bindings.  Then we watched Finding Nemo and had popcorn.  We also got an e-mail from Edna, who has been doing some quilting.  She said she wants to join in the Medallion Quilt Challenge of 2021.  How exciting!  I can hardly wait to see what she comes up with. She sent us a photo of her most recent completed quilt.  It is another scrappy dandy.

Edna, also said, she is hoping to come and visit us this Fall and bring her medallion quilt with her.  She wants to show us in-person.  That is definitely something we all look forward to.

Friends and Quilting Just Go Together

It is the President's Day weekend and our friend, Edna, has come for a visit.  We all got together for the four F's, friends, food, fun, and flexibility, at Marhsa's house.  Edna brought a couple quilts with her, for Show N Tell.  Marsha and I (Kirsten) hung them on the wall for photos.

This is Edna and her 'African Coins' quilt

Edna's other quilt, she explained, has one splash of green and some baby chick fabric, so she calls it the "Chicken and Greens" quilt.  She said she used a variegated brown thread to quilt it, so in some places the quilting looks dark and in others, light.  

Edna explained how she made this quilt.

The wall paper at Marsha's makes it difficult to see the light binding all the way around the quilt.  She hand-stitched the binding down on the back of the quilt.  It looks so perfect.

We had alot of fun!  Friends and quilting just go together.
