The quilt is beautiful and looks a lot easier than a real flower garden! And I love, love, love the table runner!! Very pretty!!
Thanks for your comments. The tablerunner is made mostly of pieces of fabric I picked up at a quilt shop. I'm sure you know the kind--take a plastic ziploc bag and stuff it as full as you can of scraps. I can really get a lot in one of those bags. The beiges were already cut into strips for me. The border fabric was left over from being the border of a big autumn quilt I made two years ago. I quilt on a budget!
the quilts are gorgeous. I could picture myself snuggled up with a good book under the first quilt. the table runner wouldn't quite cover me up. Well one leg maybe
Thanks for your comments---sounds like you've got a great sense of humor.
And I LOVE table runners!! As a matter of fact, I need to start working on a nice spring one for the living room tables!! That is ....after the green swap blocks ... and after Nina's quilt!!
I get carried away with tablerunners sometimes. They don't take long to make and it's like instant gratification. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for posting these. I really like the first one, very tradition. The colors are prefect. Nice to have you visit with us once in awhile. Maybe you can join us in the chat at some point. We have a lot of laughs there.
Thanks for the positive words. I'm not much for chatting online, but I'll think about that. I appreciate the encouragement.
chat is like the table runners....instant gratification.....we have fun, get silly, and it is a great place to get instant advice on quilts, or sewing projects.....also any other kinds of advice needed......these are a great bunch of people.
Very pretty, and the table runner....I really like that!
Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement.
Hi Chris,
I'm Loes and I live in The Netherlands. Your quilts are very beautiful. The Almost a Flower Garden is very beautiful. I want to make a tabel runner by hand this summer. But now I have to work on Nina's quilt. It's a quilt to play outside the house.

Loes, I'm so glad you commented on my quilts. My husband and I have been to the Netherlands several times, usually as a stopover on the way home from India to the U.S. We would stay at a Tulip Inn in Amsterdam for one or two nights and then continue our journey. We loved being there in the spring. I've noticed several quilters from the Netherlands in quilting books and magazines. I really like their work.
I have a sister named Nina. We pronounce it "Ni - na", not Nee-na. She is also a quilter and has done wonderful work. Her most fabulous quilt was a king-size sampler quilt made with batiks. It is gorgeous. My quilts tend to be more everyday. My daughter quilts too. So the three of us enjoy each other's work and are always ready to give advice when asked for it.
Thanks for your compliments. I appreciate them.
When you are in The Netherlands again, maby we could met eachother.

Very pretty quilt. I'm a sucker for a very traditional quilt. This will be an heirloom!
Well, I don't know if it will be an heirloom, but it did turn out nice. I learned a lot doing that quilt, especially about setting triangles. Thanks for the positive feedback on it. It's nice to see a man quilting, I'm hoping I can get my husband involved more after we retire. He's already learned a lot from observation the last eleven years!
