Quilts from My Past


Blue Charm Applecore, originally uploaded by knitnoid.

I can't tell you for certain what it is I've been doing, but it certainly hasn't been quilting. Today i even went shopping -- as in clothes, accessories and kitchen ware. My friend T suggested I go home, take 2 aspirins, lay down and perhaps the urge would pass. After a couple of hours visiting various stores, not finding what I was looking for, I did just that. --OK -- I did bring home 3 new t-shirts. I found the cookware on-line and ordered it.. Then I finally sat down to the hand quilting.

So, here's a pic of a quilt I made for my DH. I purchased the WonderArc ruler and Applecore pattern at one of the quilt shows. Then I decided to make a blue charm quilt. I have no idea what I was thinking. Needless to say, I ended up collecting 200+ different blue fabrics for this quilt. It's not any bigger (about 70") because I decided to start working on it. This quilt was the last quilt I made in 2005, finishing it about 8:30 that evening.
