Quilters' Quilts

Made by Doris

Where has the time gone?? I certainly didn't mean to let nearly the whole month of July pass without a post. I went on my family's annual beach vacation at the beginning of the month, so I knew I'd miss a week there. After that I'm not sure what happened! 

This week I am showing off quilts made by the ladies who volunteer their time and their machines to quilt tops for Covered in Love.  These first two are from Doris in Alabama. 

...and the last three came from Linda in Indiana.  Two very generous and industrious ladies who help keep CiL running! 

The beach trip was good and I managed only a slight sunburn on the back of my neck, which might be the best I have done in several years. The water was darker that usual, but the surf was calmer and nice for swimming. It was hot, of course, but the main point of the trip is to visit with family, anyway.

This last quilts is my favorite. I think the pattern is just entrancing. I really like the fabrics, too. 

I'll try to be more on the ball with my posts going forward! I've taken photos of some more of Louise's quilts, so she will be making posts soon, anyway. She's more on the ball than me ;)

Red-head on the beach means long sleeves.

Kelly's Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! I've got a great batch of quilts to show you today sent in by Kelly. I'm starting it off with my favorite one of the batch. 

Bright colors, narrow geometric piecing, and straight line quilting! This one's right up my alley.

All these quilts are great, though, as you will see. Huge thanks for Kelly for her generous support.

I can't believe we're into July already, can you? Our garden has been pretty puny this year, a bad combination of rain and heat. We are at least getting nice watermelons that came up volunteer in the mulch pile.

The first blocks from the new block drive have started to arrive and I'm looking forward to more. They're looking really good together.

This strip quilt with the very subdued colors is actually my second favorite of the batch. It seems to be made from reclaimed fabrics like shirts or pants. I love all the different textures.

The bright red backing was a perfect choice to compliment it.

Lastly, this quilt with the delicate pinwheels and the zig zag edging. It's beautifully done and looks like so much work, piecing each triangle from 3 smaller pieces!

Thank you, Kelly! And thank you quilters for all your support. 

Stuart is considering a career as a hair dresser.
