Embroidered Flower Quilt

This is our flea market find last week.  It is 39" wide and 48" long.  As you can see, the blocks are quilted all over but the sashings are ditch quilted.  There is a pocket at the top back to hang it up.  It is signed on the back by the makers (2) and has a date 2001.  The quilting is done by machine. 

Sun Bonnet Sue

This is a pillowcase.  The skirt has three layers so the bottom ruffle really stands out.  I have been looking at various Sun Bonnet Girl patterns for a quilt for my granddaughter (s) and trying to find the right one that I would like to do.  Bought a couple books with all kinds of them thru and thru and they are all so different.  The pillowcase came from the thrift store for 25 cents!  I have seen other quilts and pillows with various versions, all slightly different.   This book is from the Oxmoor House Quilts Made Easy series.  It has about 8 or 9 patterns for Sun Bonnet Sue and Overall Sam.

Bow Tie Blocks

While working on my round of the Round Robin quilt, I wanted to try the Bow Tie pattern.  I hadn't done it before so worked on some sample blocks and then played with different ways of putting them together.  I found it fun to work with this pattern and I would love to make myself a quilt .  There seems to be as many ways to lay them out as there are pieces of material.  The first time I saw the pattern, it was on a quilt in a magazine and I kept going back to the magazine to look at the photo.  It just seemed to catch my attention and I am happy with the results.
