Little tidbits of my life

Quilt Book Giveaway - EXTENDED ONE MORE NIGHT

HURRY!!!

Want to try to win a quilt book?  Follow this link for a quilt  block giveaway from Brandi at mountainmorning blogspot.  She has extended the deadline to midnight on August 23, 2008.

Darlene Zimmerman is the author of the book. 

Brandi has asked each participant to post a pic of their favorite quilt when adding a message about her giveaway to their blog.  I decided to go ahead and show several of the quilts I've made as I have not posted too many on here before.  ALL are my own design. 

This was for my cousin Savannah.  I made the machine embroidery designs that spelled out SAVANNAH down the center and I also drew the machine embroidery designs of the vines/tiny flowers and tiny butterflies on the small yellow borders around each appliqued square.  She was only about 3 years old and she said "Oh TERESA, it's SO BE-UUU-TEEE-FULLL (I spelled it the way she articulated the word!  lol)

I made this quilt for her brother Cole.  AGAIN, I drew the designs that spell out C O L E.  The C and O is in first pic and the L and E is in the second pic.

This quilt was VERY special as it was for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary.  My hubby's nana helped me quilt it in 5 days and then my hubby's Great AUNTS Polly and Grace made the binding for me (it is in the second pic...VERY PRETTY)

 I hope you enjoy!  My computer crashed last month, so this was all the pics I had loaded on my AOL, else I would have showed you more.  I will have to gather them up soon and post more.

Those quilts are so beautiful! You are very talented. I'd love to get started quilting, my hubby's grandmother made beautiful quilts but passed away before I had time to learn from her.
