3 for 5 Art Challenge

I don't know who started this, but it has been so much better to see my Facebook Newsfeed filled with Quilts instead of the Food, RE-Shares, and other STUFF on Facebook.

I thought I would share the quilts so far on the Blog too.

Judy D who blogs HERE issued the challenged to me.

Day 1 - I shared 3 of my Bonnie Hunter Quilts- that are finished.

My 1st Bonnie Hunter Mystery

"Easy 'Busy' Street"

From the Quiltmaker 2013 Block Party -where I met and took the class from the designer.

A Momentus Day for this Name-dropper!

"Midnight Flight"

2nd Mystery 2013

"Celtic 'Christmas' Solstice"

Day 2- I shared three quilts that were hanging around in my home.

(I could take the pictures with my phone and upload them easily, FB was being dumb)

A "seasonal" Quilt made from Blocks gathered on a Shop Hop I took with my Oldest DD  and DBL.

I made a different version for my Sister. 

This one hangs inside on my back door window, I see it as I leave the house.

2002

 

This quilt was made from Spool blocks given to me after I served as Co-Chair for the Local Quilt Guild back in 2007- I finished the quilt myself in 2010. 

This one hangs in the window of the Basement bedroom as a curtain.

"Spools"

The 3rd quilt for the 2nd day was this one.

 It began as a Strip Challenge at Guild in 2010.

I liked it so well, I made a 2nd one (different design) to give away for the challenge instead.

This one hangs in my stairway as I enter the Quilt ZONE!

From Marsha McCloskey's Fat Quarter Quilts

"Flower Pots"

 Day 3- It's the celebration day for our Oldest Grand-daughter, so I shared her 3 quilts I made.

Her first quilt-made to fit the tiny bed she slept in.

I used polka dots and backed it with flannel and hand quilted it.

Attic Window "Raggedy Ann"

For her 2nd Birthday I made this-

"Sun Bonnet Sue" 

 I was taking a Block of the month class at Hancock Fabrics with Jo Fox and she designed these patterns just for us. I used fabrics leftover from some of her and her moms dresses.

In 2009 I was busy making quilts for all the Grandchildren's birthdays.

I'd made sample blocks for the Block of the Month I taught at our NEW Hancock Fabrics in 2008.

These were left over from those classes.

This is when I learned to really LOVE the Quilter's Shades fabrics. 

These blocks came in monthly kits that were $4.99 and fun to make. 

Here is a link for the Original design. 

I added hourglass blocks to the top and bottom for this version.

"A Gathering of Flowers"

What will I show tomorrow??? 

I'm thinking and planning.  I hope FB will let me upload easy.

Should it be a collection of Marti Michell quilts? 

OR my original designs from the 2011 McCall's Design Star Challenge...

Linking up with Quiltshopgal HERE
She has my "Rubies and Diamonds" quilt on her blog today.  Thanks!!!

Beribboned Asterisk- Challenge #2 - 2011 McCall's Quilt Design Star

 I had to take the Box that came last week out to my Quilt Buddies to show her my Challenge Quilt after the Quilting. I was so excited to get it back and will get to show it off at Guild on Tuesday.  The quilting was done by Piece and Quilt- Natalia Bonner.  I'm so happy with the results and have to show it off!  I still need to get the binding on and hope to do that this week.  I'm still waiting for my Final Challenge Quilt "How Much Is that Doggie in the Window?" to be returned from Colorado.  These two quilts are well traveled.

My Neice, the youngest Daughter of my DH's Sister is getting married this Friday.  Today is her Birthday and this is the quilt her mother made for her and her future Husband.  I took the picture at the Bridal Shower back in November and hadn't blogged about them.  Her favorite color is Red she tells me and the next quilt was made by her Grandma Crowther, My Husband's Mother.  She finished the quilt top and our neice has hand quilted it to finish it off before getting married.  She is also Making her own wedding dress.

 I hope you enjoyed seeing these fun quilts.  My real design wall still has the same old stuff on it.  I look forward to changing it soon for next year's UFO Challenge.
