Miniatures for a local cause
 

Every fall the local hospital has a Quilt Auction. Here are my donations to the cause.


1. Made from leftover triangle trimmings, the HST measure 5/8" finished. I took the time to HQ this 5 1/2 x 7 1/2" miniature.

2. I was gifted several 1" wof fabric peach strings. I paired them with a lighter peach fabric to make 4P's. This is just one of four quilts made from the 4P blocks. 11 1/2" square.

3. Tiny Courthouse steps make up the last quilt. Digging in my 3/4" scraps I sewed these 2 1/4" blocks. I did cut into a fat quarter for the final pink step to add a cohesiveness to the quilt.

Beautiful - you really have patience.

Beautiful OK ! ! ! Hand quilted with all those seams ! WOW.....

Very sweet quilts.

Very pretty!!!!

how sweet, very nice

You do great work!

They are all lovely, but that pink one looks so sweet with the border print ... so very pretty. Best of luck with the fund raising for the cause.

I love the expression "quilt-lets"!

Thanks for all the kind words; the auction is Sept 21st.

Oh a HQ'er would understand how tough that was! At least I didn't draw blood.

They are very charming! I have never tried anything that small! They amaze me! Most people would never appreciate the time and effort in something that small! Love love love them!

All so cute! That pink really set the Courthouse Steps off! Love that one the most! Great job!

What wonderful mini quilts!

Wow beautiful!

Very beautiful, tiny work! :)

these are each and every one a miniature beauty. i am gifted scraps by mil church ladies. they asked her how small, i told her no less than 3/4" and she took in a block from a mini i have been working on for a while (between other projects). your courthouse steps, if you don't mind, i am saving to my ipad photos to show her when we go visit next weekend. first because it's beautiful, second because it will show her that her dil isn't the only quilter enamored of the tiny beauties that miniature quilts are. i also think they will do very well at the hospital quilt auction fundraiser.

Thank you so much. And by all means share with your MIL! Yeah there is more than one like me out there. My quilt guild friends tell me I need therapy as they hand me their little odds and ends. I thank them and reply, "This is my therapy."

I'm just starting on some miniature quilts in my Jo Morton Club (civil war group). You have done a really great job. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work, sewing pieces that tiny is not an easy thing to do, at least for me.

You know I love love your work! Yes there are more miniaturists out here. I am one as you know OK.
I can't pick a favorite! they are all fantastic and that is so generous of you to donate them!

Love your miniature quilts. Nice.

I love them all!! I haven't made a mini for quite a spell, but they still thrill me. N.

Hi N! Thanks--Haven't heard from you in a while...and was just thinking about you the other day. Guess you don't mess with the small stuff now that you have a LA to get those quilts finished.:D:D:D
