Dayle of A Collection Of This And That is having a Link-up party called
The Airing of the Quilts
It is for quilt lovers or collectors or creators or designers or quilters or anyone who just loves quilts! I’m sharing my Amish inspired quilted wall hanging.
I didn’t inherit the passion and talent for sewing that my mom did and therefore it is not a favorite past time.
(You all know I’d much rather be in the kitchen) It has been a long time but I have made a few quilts.
The one I am sharing today is a wall hanging that was made in the mid-1980’s. It hung in my stairwell for many years and measures 36-inch square without the tabs. After researching Amish quilts I came up with this design.
I quilted it with black thread using interesting patterns that complimented the spaces.
I love how vibrant the colors are, and the black stitching is just phenomenal!
What beautiful hand quilting and the colors are so pretty.
What a wonderful piece of work! Love the colors and the quilting in black. I would not have ever thought of that. Great job. I found your blog through Airing of the quilts. What a fun little quilt party. Have a blessed week end.

Lorraine-That is beautiful. I think the Amish make the most beautiful quilts ever-they are just so graphic and the colors so lovely. You did a GREAT job on yours- you would never know you didn't care for sewing! Hugs- Diana
My this is showy! I love the colors and your quilting is just beautiful. I enjoy hand quilting, especially in the car, stitching away and snuggly warm. Thanks for sharing your lovely creation.
