quilt show 3: Thimbleberries

Time to go back to "my quilt show"
well may be more show and tell!

Once I was more comfortable doing simple quilts,

I became a member of one of those block of the month clubs.

It was a fun way to make big projects more manageable.

I became a fan of Thimbleberries, the directions are always clear,

the fabric is very good quality, but it is always a little dark and country.

I am now not so much into their work,

but a while back I made a lot of their quilts.

So here it is: a Thimbleberries special

"May day tradition"

"Sunset"

the blue fabric is from Provence....

yes like most people I am a fan!

This queen size bed quilt is from the book "Holiday quilts" By L. Jensen.

The fabric is not thimbleberries.

 The main fabric was purchased in France.

It is a reprint of "indienne",

the original fabric was made in India,

using a technique not used in Europe at the time,

and most of the  fabric made using that way were named "indienne".

 I was able to find some pink/red and green looked geat with it.

It is our summer quilt and I love it!

"Winter dazzle"

 Fall table top

pattern from the book "treats no tricks" by L. Jensen.

This one was made as a baby gift,

I cannot remember the pattern

but it is made with Thimberries fabric,

not so dark after all!

Next time I will write about my real quilt passion:

applique!

Happy sewing!
