Old and New

As I mentioned in the last post the cabin we stayed in had quilts on every bed. These were made especially for the cabin. Here is a vintage quilt hanging on the wall. I love this design.
 Here is the one that was on our bed. It was hard getting a good picture because of the lighting. We were in a loft.The machine quilting in the middle was great. Just take my word.
  There were more beds but they were in other family member rooms. I didn't want to invade their space.
 Unfortunately I didn't think to get pictures until they had all moved into their rooms.  The quilts in the cabin were not really "Old" except for the first one. But because we stayed in the cabin it made it seem like they were old.
So this past Wednesday the Modern Quilt Therapy group met at the Little General. Now to the "New" modern quilts.
 These two were made by our featured member.
 This whole cloth quilt was made by Laura who has been quilting some of my quilts.
 Simply Amazing!
 This wonderful star quilt was made by LC of MayChappell. You can find out more about this quilt on her post here.
 We did a pencil pouch swap during our meeting. This is the pouch I made. We were to put our pouch in a brown paper bag so it was a secret swap.
 This is the one I received. I was told by the maker, Tomoe, that it was made from scraps. Whatever it was made from, I just love it especially the little flower she made hanging from the zipper. Thanks Tomoe!
 There were two door prizes given away. I was one of the winner of this stack of fabrics.

Old or New, we quilters love quilts in all styles.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Wow... what a post! I'm glad I truly love all styles of quilts... although it might be easier if I could narrow my endless Make Someday List a bit.

...and, as "they" say... everything old is new again. I find that to be SEW true with quilts as well.

How special to have quilts on the beds where you stayed - you would have felt right at home! The pouch swap is a great idea. Love the wholecloth quilt too - very clever :-)

So many quilts, definitely gives any lodging a comfy warm feel. Really love the tulip quilt. The star quilt and the whole cloth quilt are gorgeous.

I agree. Something so alluring about old quilts but then the new ones suck me in too!

Loved seeing all the quilts on the beds at the cabin. Your pencil pouch was the cutest and such a great idea for a swap. Lucky you to win such pretty fabric. Red and aqua is real popular these days, isn't it? Thanks for sharing.
