| This is my guideline...a gorgeous pineapple design in various reds and greens, and a little blue. |
 |
| I decided instead to make mine in pinks, purples and greens with a little beige and rosy beige. As I cut each size out in each color scheme, I am placing them in ziplock bags so I can "keep it all straight." |
 |
| Here are the pinks that I haven't cut yet. My inspiration fabric for the quilt is the rose print. |
 |
| And this is the other thing I am working on! Mom and I got matching panels to be embroidered, but after she worked on hers a while, she decided to give it to me to finish. I am planning on using it as the center panel for a red, yellow and blue quilt! The embroidery work is so relaxing while I watch TV or am with my grandson while he plays video games. |
 |
| This is a bigger view of the whole panel. It has an oval wreath of various flowers. Most of the work you see here was done by Mom. I haven't been working long on the panel myself. |
well, my word... you are working on the embordiery piece I gave you. Can't wait to see it finished. And, that pineapple quilt is gonna be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful panel . I love the quilt you are going to make. I hope to see some of it soon. I also love yoer header quilt. It is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful -- you and your mother are quite talented!
ReplyDeleteBeen meaning to get here ever since you told me...don't know where to start. I am wanting to make a pineapple quilt, too...someday. If by rose print, you mean the second from the left...I have some of that fabric. I think a yard of it. That embroidery panel is going to be beautiful when finished.
ReplyDeleteI just posted my little log cabin quilt at my Pics & Pieces blog.
Cant wait to see your quilt! Love the colors! Your embroidery is so lovely, bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteoh I love that rose pattern this is going to be beautiful. I admire your Mom and your needlework. B
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh....that embroidery work on the pansies is outstanding. And beautiful colors of threads you chose. I'd like to see the finished product sometime.
ReplyDeleteTwo great projects! The pineapple quilt will be gorgeous! I took a class to make one once and did just 4 blocks using paper piecing, which makes it very easy if you can find the patterns to use! I love how it looks and it is one of my UFO's that needs to be finished someday. I decided to add a bit of applique to it and that is what has kept it from being finished. I think I would like doing another one now that it has been awhile. That embroidery is lovely! That will be so pretty when you are done with it! I find handwork relaxing, too and we have just started a once-a-month group here dedicated to handwork, so I hope to get some projects started again!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized with your colors, I just might grab this idea. I really like the embroidery, my grandmother used to do a lot of it, and I have some of what she made.
