When I first started “quilting”, I wanted to make quilts that looked like serapes. Serapes are so colorful and quite beautiful.
These are some that I made, and then put them in the closet and forgot about them. Well, I am getting the bug again to try and make a Mexican quilt. Except this time I will use premium fabric. These have faded with only one washing and have not even been used.
The turquoise one with the red rose in the center was my very first one that I made. I hand quilted it and enjoyed every minute of it. Hand quilting is very relaxing. Now I can see that I needed more roses and they probably should be bigger.
This one has more of a southwestern look with more hand quilting.
You can’t see the thread that I used, but it was a metallic gold.
This last one is more of a strip quilt and I even put fringe on it. Now, I would make the fringe different. There’s way to much of it, and it needs to be thinner.

Thank you, Kay. I wouldn’t be able to make a big quilt, so I just stick to lap quilts or baby quilts.

Wow, your quilts are gorgeous! I love the bright colors. Do you do everything by hand or use the sewing machine?

Thank you for your visit and comments. I use the sewing machine to put them together and if there’s time I will hand quilt, but lately have been trying machine quilting.
