For the Fourth of July I am sharing some red, white and blue quilts.
Some day I may finish Little Hazel by Esther Alui or at least turn the center block into a quilt. I do love these reproduction fabrics!
In the early 1990s I made a red, white, and blue signature quilt for an exchange student from Russia.
Vintage embroidery patterns from 1976 inspired Bicentennial Memories.
The Presidents Quilt by Michael J. Buckingham and published by AQS was how I learned embroidery. I added borders of additional redwork patterns.
I added several First Ladies to the Presidents Quilt, which inspired me to design and make Remember the Ladies.
Vintage political handkerchiefs and linen towels were added to Dustin Cecil's pieced Giddyup block to make Gridlock.
It won 'Most Humorous' in my guild's quilt show.
I made the John Quincy Adams quilt for a traveling exhibit created by Sue Reich; the quilts also appeared in her book Quilts Presidential and Patriotic.
My husband's great-grandmother made this Turkey red and white Single Wedding Ring quilt about 100 years ago.
