I realised afterwards that there was one that I didn't photograph, it was like a dolls house with all the rooms shown, like the front of the house was opened up for us to see in.....and it was one of my favourites as well. :( Oh well, perhaps another time!<br />I will definitely make a dolly one one of these days, I think it's a great idea to have a double sided one with two different colours! Your girls must be very happy that you got it for them :)<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-25358505250159640762016-02-04T20:45:23.755+01:002016-02-04T20:45:23.755+01:00Aren't they lovely Kendal!

The shop that my friend works at, down on the coast, actually have quilting and patchwork classes but I hate to commit myself to going in case we have to come back home halfway through and it would never get finished or something, which is a poor excuse I know. But maybe one day....<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-79136499799804319892016-02-03T20:07:00.756+01:002016-02-03T20:07:00.756+01:00Wow!

Love the wonky colorful one!<br />I asked my neighbour to make me a doll quilt and she used fabrics leftover from when I sewed for my own children. And she made it reversible when I said I needed two, because I loved both the pinks and the reds and couldn't decide... My dollies like to picnic on their quilt! And they get wrapped in it for trips!<br />Great memories!<br />Thanks for posting these.

How wonderful you actually got to see them in real life and to photograph them for us to admire and hopefully gain some inspiration.<br /><br />I used to make patchwork items, sewing the pieces together by hand and using the Laura Ashley fabrics in the late 60s-70s then selling them on through my S-I-L's black and white timbered village hall craft shop in Betley in Cheshire.<br />Unfortunately those days and skills have long gone.Kendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11055482039650447240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-20595956205638518152016-01-31T15:18:17.876+01:002016-01-31T15:18:17.876+01:00You're very welcome Xanadu!

I actually have an old one that is faded and it looks very nice when I put it on the bed, but it is getting a little shabby now...maybe shabby chic!!! And it no longer goes with our bedroom decor, but I still like it a lot.<br />That memory quilt sounds like a brilliant idea, did you take any photos?<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-68679258860124975312016-01-31T15:13:01.918+01:002016-01-31T15:13:01.918+01:00Dee you really should finish yours!

So love the old lady - she is goin to be my role model.The nautcal scene is my second favourite.<br />Oh, how I wish I'd kept up my early love of quilting. I still have the baby quilt top I made at primary school but 'was going to quilt' when my children were on the way 30+ years ago and, with possibly my only ever grandchild due in 5 weeks, it looks as though it won't be completed for him either! I used to hand quilt but can't do it anymore and have never learnt to machine quilt.jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-37883594614650201762016-01-25T10:11:15.554+01:002016-01-25T10:11:15.554+01:00Thanks so much for sharing!

I sooo love Quilts!<br /><br />The asymmetrical one is my favorite. <br />I have books about Amish quilts and love mostly the classics; made really with pieces of old clothes in darker colours. 'Dunkelbunt' as Hundertwasser says :)<br /><br />Got not enough skills and patient. <br />But asome years ago I made a memorie-quilt for my mothers 80th birthday with 'memory-fabrics, given from all her children (old Ts, napkins, bibs...) <br />It wasn't really beautiful, but she loves it anyway :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-69997428937129828212016-01-24T23:12:48.770+01:002016-01-24T23:12:48.770+01:00beautiful quilts and other items.

I also liked the quilt with the outside seems making it look feathered and soft.<br />I have a few quilts, cut and part sewn, maybe I need to try and finish them this year ! It would help with my clearing out if they were finally finshed and given to the people they were meant for!! :) xxDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-87653368569392283592016-01-24T22:42:03.089+01:002016-01-24T22:42:03.089+01:00Some amazing quilts - I wouldn't have the pati...Some amazing quilts - I wouldn't have the patience to spend so long on one design but Puri's purple/square quilt is amazingTriciamjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00004527643028483871noreply@blogger.com
