Amy Butler Pattern for Gumdrop Pillows?

Hello girls, I found an adorable pattern by Amy Butler in a quilt shop, but it is outdated by 2 years, and they don't have it, they did have a pillow made up, very cute. Does anyone have a pattern…Continue

Oh! I just realized you are talking about my picture in a frame! Sorry about that. It is actually done by my great-aunt. I have to think it's close to 75 - 100 years old. You would not believe the hand stitching on it. Tiny, straight, even. My mother inherited it and always wanted something done to preserve it plus be able to see the work from both sides. One year for her birthday my brother and I had it framed in glass so that you could do just that. I do not know the name of it. It has since been passed to me.
Thank you, Carolyn. I'm trying to remember which quilt I posted. The one I am thinking of is called Lovina's Flowers, something like that. Michigan has been very mild this winter however this week we had very low temperatures. I love winter sports so that's not a problem as long as the wind is not blowing. I do a lot of knitting so I have plenty of scarves, hats and mittens!
Happy Birthday, Carolyn. Hope you have a wonderful day...
I sent you an email . Thanks for adding me as a friend . My email is sewinAnn@yahoo.com
What's the one quilt tool you'd miss if you lost it?
Happy Birthday, Carolyn. Hope your day is delightful...
Hi Carolyn,
glad to have you as a friend. We are not related, that I know of, to your friends, but there is a larger contingent of Annises in the Northeast that they may be a part of. I've done the geneaology on my husband's family. His father was an only child and turns out he was from one of two lines of Annises that came to America about the same time, but unrelated.
My daughter taught me how to shop the linins years ago,I have built so much of my sewing from g.w.& s.a. my elastic drawer is filled with every size you can imagin the same with binding,seam binding ,twill tape and zippers.the same with just regular material. some times I will find a really nice mans shirt and cut down to womens blouse. I'v also bought a lot of flannel that I use for backings.But my daughter is still a better shopper than I am.
Good morning, Carolyn. I have made 3 or 4 quilts with houses and trees. Most of them the house and tree patterns are from different places, the setting kind comes as I go after I build the houses I decide where I want it and what kind of tree I want close to it. Which one did you want to know about?
