Which leads me to these....
I kept thinking that I should take time out to make the April one....but that is as far as it got...just thinking....But............... talking with Teresa in Music City via emails (A quilt and a prayer). I read her post here and just loved the wall hanging, not realizing it was from these Calendar quilts.
She emailed me back and well.....
That was just the inspiration I needed. I also got my friend Rhonda involved (I might have mentioned she is moving, her house is empty and well...I guess I have just made it my mission to keep her occupied...lucky her).
This is mine, I will show you hers later and I might add that this picture just doesn't cut it.
This is mine, I will show you hers later and I might add that this picture just doesn't cut it.So....for the last thirty minutes I have been trying to get you a good picture.
Nope.....

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! How funny you are making calender quilts and I'm making one for May.
ReplyDeleteLove your Calendar Quilt. I've made some of them and hope to eventually do them all. Love the way you quilted that umbrella.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous Barb. I will send you a pic of the Oneida made
ReplyDeleteYour April Calendar quilt is wonderful Barb! I love the red umbrella & galoshes!!!! Your little mini is pretty sweet too :*)
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! I have a hard time with lighting sometimes too.I have the best luck when it is daylight and light coming in the windows...but usually finish stuff later in the day and want to take pictures then!
ReplyDeleteSome times and with some things it is just hard to get a great picture. I can tell this is awesome anyway!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lucky winners. Love your little quilt, Barb.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea, Barb. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who struggles with photos.
ReplyDeleteI JUST finished the summertime one - the one with the ants and the watermelon. All I have to do is stitch a hanging sleeve to the back. I've made the spring flowers one, too. They are both just too much fun. The April one that you show here is my next endeavor!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe calendar quilt is so cute :)

Love the idea of a calendar quilt
ReplyDeleteYour April Showers is lovely
No way! I won? That never happens! I'm so excited! Thank you so much! Now I have to find time to make it before the season is over and I'm giving my mom a springy table-topper for Christmas. (hey, it's happened before...)
ReplyDeleteI actually have been designing some calendar ones too. They are small; quick; and fun. Fun to change each month too.
ReplyDeleteMore...more...more...table toppers!
ReplyDeleteI love your little umbrella quilt with the big raindrops...so cute! I have these to make(Kim's packet of patterns) and bought it because I saw it awhile back on your blog. I have yet to do anything with it but it's on my list for this year. I guess I'm going to have to rethink my list and put a date on my calendar like the Thimbleberries Day to work on this at least once a month...I love her patterns. Thanks for the inspiration. Congrats to the winners. Keep Rhonda busy and have fun!
ReplyDeleteYour wall hangings are so creative and wonderful. Love the way you think!
