Something Old Something New

 
Here's another sweet quilt from the Mennonite Quilt Show.  Sunbonnet Sue and a companion butterfly in various activities.

  

I've finally found time to get back to the pattern restorations.  Bundles of little treasures have been trickling in for months now, and I'm happy to tell you that they are slowly but surely making their way to the website.  This batch (above) was sent in by the women's fellowship of the Maple Grove Church in Ashland, Ohio who make baby quilts for charity.  They were thrilled to get reprints so they could carry on their work and were happy to share these cute designs. 

 
These vintage WorkBasket inserts just arrived from Jennifer.  That squirrel is so adorable!  Some flowers mixed in here too.  These will be fun. 

 
 Here's another batch I just acquired from a thrifting adventure.  I bought the lot sight unseen.  There are cut fragments of some, others are in tact.  Not sure what I will do with these yet.

 
Found these last year at a yard sale.  Some were quite gigantic!  I reduced the great big ones and divided it all into seven distinct sets. They are up on the website now under the category:  Quilts & Crafts; halfway down page 3 as follows, Wildwood, Abundance, Birds & Blossoms, Old English, Blooms & Borders, Shangrila, and Country French (under 'Feathered Friends'). Lots of sweet stuff here for home stitching.   

 
And more flowers!  One can never have too many flowers, now can one?  Also, soon to be added will be more nursery rhyme quilt blocks.  They are on my work table in progress at this very moment...so that's where I'll be for awhile. 

All the newest pattern additions are HERE.

Have a great weekend!

Hi, Vicki,
I simply love the Sunbonnet quilt from the Mennonite Quilt Show. I might just have to make one for my grand-daughter! Your recent additions are very tempting as well. May I also say your new book is all that I had anticipated and more, so keep the inspirations coming!
Warmest Regards,
Debra

Oh boy...I did not need to see these new patterns. I have major addiction to these things and I promised myself no more until...I dunno..well it won't hurt to browse, will it? Just a peek...

I've discovered a real fondness for the Workbasket transfers lately...I've picked up several nice batches on Ebay. Simple but sweet.

Love the new patterns, esp. the one with the owls! I got a horse and a ballerina pattern from you a couple of months ago and have stitched them up for my nieces for Christmas (after I turn them into pillows between now and then!)

I love all the patterns, but always have a soft spot for anything sunbonnet.

I love anything with sunbonnet girls. I made a similar embroidered sunbonnet quilt for my youngest great-granddaughter last year. Everyone who saw it wanted one like it, even grown-ups who had no young daughters or granddaughters. I hope to purchase the pattern for your pictured quilt.
Embroidering and quilting are my favorite hobbies.

Wonderful vintage collections...one doesn't find them like that very easily anymore. This looks like fun work and I'm glad that you've found some time to get back to it.
