I would like to be able in some way to bring all this to life in a quilt that will tell how great , powerful, and awesome our Lord is!

Mine would either be a floral log cabin or a french braid in rich chocolate hues & cream colors & maybe some earthtones tossed into the mix.

i would like a quilt that is named memories. it has crosses and eight point stars. in 30's print and black background.

A quilt just for me??? Definitely a Sunbonnet Sue quilt in shades of rose, pale greens, maybe pale blues. I would find the most beautiful cottons prints that were pleasing just for me.
And.. one other quilt would be a Crazy Quilt in luxurious fabrics like velvets, satins etc and in deep jewel tone colors of burgandys, blacks, deep greens etc. with tons and tons of embellishment stitches by hand. sigh..... if only I had the time!! I always dreamed once we retired I would have plenty of time to sew.... not sew much...:cry:. Wow, thanks for a great question and time for me to DREAM BIG! LOL |
A Ricky Tims Rapsody Quilt.

Well...the first quilt I made was for me...since then I haven't made one for me. I'm working on everyone else! I have the fabrics chosen for two of them...
A black red and white sampler made of whichever random blocks I feel like choosing. And a batik and black jewel box. Right now I'm working on a quilt for my husband...which wouldn't take long if I'd just sit down and DO IT! Next up is a quilt for an expecting friend's baby. Then some baby quilts for the children's hospital. Then probably a customer quilt. Then I'd better start working on the two I'm making for Christmas... Some day I'll do mine...some day... |
Mine will be a Mariner's Compass done in autumn-colored batiks. I've been collecting the fabric for a while now...only a few more to go, and then I can start.

I am currently making Affairs of the Heart with the sew along group here on the board...It is just for ME! I also want to make a crazy quilt some day.
