Coming attractions
Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I am feeling better -- if not 100% -- and well enough to sew, which is always a good thing! I am far from any finishes but keep plugging along on three quilts. I finally have enough blocks today to spread them out randomly for sneak peeks into the quilt tops they will (hopefully) soon become.
Three very different quilts. To me the hexagon quilt has lots of sass and energy, while the cross quilts are subtle and calm. Who knows how they will evolve as I still have so many more blocks to add.

And in June I hope to have another giveaway to celebrate a pretty big month for me -- my birthday, my 25th wedding anniversary, and my one year blogiversary/one year Flickr anniversary. I'm hoping to come up with something fabulous!

ReplyDeleteJoan they are all so lovely! Totally love the hexagons - is that AMH? Also love the two 'postively' quilts? Are you following a pattern for these? They are lovely.

I love all three quilts but I have to say the second one does it for me. Such beautiful colours. Glad you are up and about and able to sew again.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are on the mend....and turning out some lovelies, I see! I'm so behind on my crosses and hexagons....you inspire me!
ReplyDeleteIt's good you're recovering well enought o sew and with the gorgeous projects you have, it makes me feel tired. I love how the hexagons are looking. What size squares do you start and finish with on the cross blocks? They look amazing too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better! Love those hexagons & the cross blocks are very calming.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - hope you are feeling better, Joan! Thank you for a nice visit!
ReplyDeleteYour wip's are all so pretty, and different from each other. Isn't it nice to work on quilts with so divers energy? I have some AMH fabric waiting patiently in the stash - love what you are doing with yours...
; )
Love all your works in progress but the grey with the Nicey Jane is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the quilts and they will all be truly wonderful quilts! Wow, next month is a big month for you. Your silver anniversary has to be the biggest celebration of all of them! That is simply fantastic! Glad you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteAll of the quilts are beautiful. I especially love the blue and green one. It makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts you are making, especially the hexagon quilt - stunning fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteYahoo! Well enough to sew is great! I love your projects. I keep making cross blocks and will probably be able to cover my house with them soon. LOL! That hex quilt is gonna be killer!! Keep feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're getting better, and you hit the ground running!! You are working on some beauties here, I particularly love your hexagons and its fabric selections, it is so happy! Good to hear you're on the mend, Joan.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hex quilt. I just finished a cross quilt myself. Interesting how different they can be.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all your progress! You've come so far with your hexies and crosses. (I'm still trying to decide the right arrangement for my hexagon quilt-along project.) Looking forward to SMS's giveaway week. Congrats on all your anniversaries coming up - so many wonderful things to celebrate!
ReplyDeletethey're all looking GREAT Joan! Happy early b-day and anniversaries to you!
ReplyDeleteSew glad you're feeling better! I think the blue is my favorite, but you're right the hexagon one is sassy!
ReplyDeleteYour cross quilts are turning out so pretty! I need to get going on making some more cross blocks of my own. Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteJennifer :)
fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with those cross blocks! Must add to the to-do list. The 'lend and borrow' effect is so visually pleasing, and of course, it doesn't get much better than linen. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove Amy Butler fabrics! Those quilts are so inspiring!

I am a new blogger. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world!
ReplyDeleteYou have gorgeous quilts, and I am inspired to make one myself. I have only made 2 so far; one for my daughter when she graduated from college and one for my new baby granddaughter. Thanks for a beautiful blog and the inspiration! I just live across the river in Brush Prairie, WA.

This hexagon quilt inspires me. I have been thinking about making one for, well a long time now, so I guess after seeing yours it is going to get higher on my list. Thanks for showing it.
ReplyDeleteJust saw these on Julie's blog. I love the AMH fabrics you are using for your hexagon quilt. Amazing.
