The circles take that quilt from ordinary to unique. Glad you came to the Berkshires. I live there and love it. Every day I'm convinced it's the prettiest place on Earth.
|
Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilts and the great scenery. Good move in adding the pink circles to your strip quilt. Thanks for sharing.
|
beautiful, the quilts and the flowers.
|
I like your quilts and the beautiful scenery!
|
The pink circles in your jelly roll race really looks nice. Great idea! Also your tumbler quilt is cool. I've been going to make one for the longest time but seems there are just so many on my list. Yours has inspired me to get one done. Also the scenery there is gorgeous. Great place to show off your beautiful quilts.

Great quilts. Great back drop for the photos. I Love the circles on the Jelly roll race quilt. Luann

Beautiful quilts! I love "A Notion to quilt" if I travel to the western part of the state for any reason I try to make sure I have time to stop in there!
|
Beautiful quilts and a lovely setting.

I think the little pink quilt shop in this youtube clip of the flooding from Hurricane Irene might have been the original A Notion to Quilt that is now safely located high and dry on MA Route 2. Strictly speaking, it's not in the Berkshires, but is in Franklin County, close enough. These beautiful mountains belong to all of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NWDRyg1j88 Another great quilt shop, not in the Berkshires, but just north a little into Wilmington, VT is the Norton House which was also devastated by Irene, but it, and many of the businesses in historic buildings on the riverside cleaned up and reopened in the same locations. What a task! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvVMOoR93_c

There are 2 spectacular attractions there. The first are the Glacial Potholes that are millions of years old. You have to see them to believe it. Then we walked over the Bridge of Flowers. Not quite in full bloom yet. I brought 2 quilts with me that I just finished and took a couple of photos. The first is a black and white large tumbler. The second is a jelly roll race that I was not happy with, so I appliqued circles to add to it because it was too flowery. Joe is not the greatest photographer, so I had to settle with what he did. I also had to buy him lunch in town. It's a wonderful tourist attraction if you're ever in the area. The bridge goes over the Deerfield River and the Berkshire Mountains are in the background. It was a beautiful day.

Thank you for showing the quilts. I have been having a hard time with two strip quilts that I put together earlier this year. I hope you don't mind, but I want to borrow your idea of the circles - they made the quilt top pop. I'm thinking any geometric shape would work: how about hexies?
|
Go right ahead and share my design. Actually, I would even mix circles, hexies, squares any shape that you like. Even large flowers would look great with stems and leaves.

I love them both. You did a very good job. Beautiful area too.

OMG, what a difference from Sat. The potholes were almost dry. I heard about the flood but that video is amazing. I sent it to all my quilting friends who go to that shop. One of the girls wants to go to Norton House too. Looks like another road trip soon. Thanks for those videos, they are incredible.

What a great place!
|
Both quilts are fabulous! I love the circles you added to your jelly roll quilt!
|
Beautiful area and quilts. Funny, I don't like jelly roll race quilts, period. BUT, with the addition of the circles I really like yours. Nice job on both!
|
What a beautiful spot:)!!! I put it on my list of places to go. Thanks for all the information....sounds quite interesting. Your quilts are nice. I love all the comments about the jelly roll. I've always wanted to do one....a fast project. You really jazzed yours up with the big circles. I want to put big flowers on mine. Nice work.
