I only have a little project to share today ...
...this one lonely wine bag. More wine bags are waiting to be created.
I did receive two of the coin quilts back from the longarmer today. I washed and dried them so now they are ready to go except for the labels.
Wendy did another great job choosing the quilt design and thread. I've learned to just leave it up to her. I'm thinking of calling this quilt Sweet Pea.
The sun was going to sleep when I took these pictures, but there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow, so I went with low lighting and no rain. I really like the quilting on this one too. I requested different but similar for the three. How about Cotton Candy for this quilt? Is there a guide book for naming quilts? You know like Baby Name books? If not, there should be.
Have an amazing weekend!!! See you Monday!!
I love that wine bottle bag - is it from a pattern or did you make it up as you went along? Also those two quilts are gorgeous and so is the quilting. Now I've got to wait for my Kona Cotton to arrive so I can finish my first one. Where do you take your quilts to be quilted? I'm always looking around because you can never know about too many longarm quilters. I actually have taken quilts to one person who is off Hwy 50 on the east side of O-town.
ReplyDeleteWow, great quilts and I love the red swirly fabric in the wine bag!
ReplyDeleteThe name Sweet Pea made me smile. Here's my "Sweet Pea":

Have a great weekend,

Love your quilts. So bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteLOL I really like the idea of a Quilt Name Book!
ReplyDeleteThe wine bag is very festive and looks well made! The detail of the ribbon is too fun!
Your quilts are just gorgeous! Sweet Pea is a great name, but how about "Blossoms" for the other one? I thought immediately of cherry and apple blossoms when I saw it!
Have a wonderful weekend, Rene'! Thanks for sharing your finishes with us!
Yes, I agree...naming quilts is a little bit of a chore. :) A quilt name book...great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the swirly fabric and the ribbon on the wine bag. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute wine bag! Nice finish for a Friday! I love the coin quilts and how they've been quilted. Your long-armer does a great job!
ReplyDeleteThey look great.
ReplyDeleteI've never actually named a quilt. But I love reading how others come up with the names for theirs.
The wine bag is so cute, and a great idea! The quilts are so cheerful and happy, lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe wine bag looks great-love the fabric. The coin quilts look so good finished-Sweet pea and Cotton Candy suit the quilts. I don't name quilts but maybe I should.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
The coin quilts came out so pretty. Great names!
ReplyDeleteThese quilts finished beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts look beautiful. The names suit the quilts. When you find a good machine quilter they really know how to finish your quilt.
ReplyDeleteI think sweet pea is very apropos for your quilt name Rene! It's so bright, cheery and charming! (and I bet if I could get close enough, it'd smell really good too! :))
ReplyDeletethis wine bag is so great!!! and your coin quilts turned out beautifuly
ReplyDeleteWine bags are a great way to give wine! Yours is adorable. I love the quilts! So happy and cheery. Great job. : )
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Do you put the quilt name on the label?
ReplyDeleteWine bag is great! I think that is going on my idea board for something to make throughout the year with leftovers so I can accumulate a couple to have ready!
ReplyDeleteYour coin quilts look great! I love the bright colors! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the wine bag and the quilts are gorgeous. There's business opportunity for you - publish a book of quilt names!
ReplyDeleteThe wine bag is very pretty...Love the "Sweet Pea" quilt. It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteexcellent! all of it! I love those coin quilts!
ReplyDeleteThe Sorbet Coin Quilt is stunning! I haven't decided what I am going to do with my layer cake, but I hope it turns out as lovely as yours :)
