January 2012 Quilts Part One

I can't believe it is 2012 already. It seems like yesterday it was 1980----boy am I dating myself.

At any rate these are some quilts from this month. All were beautiful and fun to do.

This sampler quilt was brought to me by Hazel. She did a great job on it. Lots of different fabrics and colors. A great Sampler.

This is Jean's quilt, quilted with a new pattern I've just gotten, Brenda's Tulips. Jean used a variety of yellows and not a lot of busy fabrics so the quilting really shows up. Love this one.

This is Gloria's Christmas quilt. Now is she on the ball or what? She is already ready for NEXT Christmas. Way to go.

Barbara made this quilt for her daughter. She said it just kept growing and it did. It's very large with lots of different blues, greens, with an occasional frog, cattail and dragonfly. It is difficult to photograph to show all the different areas on this one.

To add a little mystery to this one I threw in a hidden dragonfly, frog, and lily pad here and there.

Susan made this very pretty applique quilt in reds and greens. It is really much prettier in person than in this photo.

Betty made this cute little child's quilt with airplanes. What little boy wouldn't like this one?

Delia made 2 quilts like this for 2 fellas. The fabrics used were from their mother's clothes. What a treasure to have this.

Betty once again has made not one, but two beautiful wool applique quilts. The pictures cannot do them justice. The are both so strikingly beautiful. The wool gives them such dimension. And yes---they are both very large. I tried to take several pictures to show different areas, but the quilts are so much more gorgeous.

That was the first one and the one below is the second. Unfortunately I can't post all of the pictures on this one blog post so I will have to add a second one. Just too many pictures.
