| Little Bow-Ties Quilt |
This is the only little quilt I have managed to put together in well over a year! It's still taking place of honor on my china hutch and I don't regret making it at all. Many times I have walked past it and smiled because the little bow ties are just so sweet.

| Custom fit to my China Hutch of course! |
The strong, bold cheddar fabric in the giveaway is a little intimidating to me because of it's very boldness. However, if I manage to snag a little piece of it, I will no doubt overcome my shyness toward it in no time at all.*wink Definitely worth checking out all the little quilts on display if you're interested in that sort of thing and it goes without saying that
Taryn's blog is always worth a visit!
Audrey, I just came from Taryn's link. This is a beautiful runner. Love the little bow ties. Your colors are my colors, lady. I'm just not as patient about hand quilting as you seem to be. : )
ReplyDeleteI also love the churn dash quilt (one of my favorite traditional patterns) that is your "current quilt in the hoop".
Saw your runner on Taryn's linky party. I love it! And you are going to love using cheddar! It's so fun! I think every quilt should have a bit of cheddar in it! :o)
ReplyDeleteI will check it out. I love your little bow ties - I just put my big bow tie quilt on the quilting frame today.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, this little quilt is so, so darling!! I love those little bow ties!! And the colors are just scrumptious!! I too find myself leaning toward the traditional!! I love to hand quilt and prefer it to machine quilting - but alas, because I have an abundance of projects, I am machine quilting some! I love to make quilts to give away as gifts - so some of them get machine quilted!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I am with you - always favor the more traditional look. Your bow tie runner is so dear and I have been admiring the current "quilt in a hoop". Have only recently returned to handquilting after a long absence - it feels good to be back.
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on - a quilt should make us smile!
