Treasures for Tuesday

It is pretty cold outside.  Even the dolls are wanting their extra covers!  These are representative of the Thirties.

 This little quiltlet has genuine feed sack fabric from the Thirties.

An applique project- Windy Wendy. 

And here she is in a rendering of Redwork.  This was all done on my sewing machine.

Now to find a bigger quilt to snuggle under because the weatherman hasn't mentioned thirty degree weather in at least a week.  BRRRRR!

Lets start small

The Miniature Mania

The above are the real deal but it all started with a cheater fabric I believe.  I bought a yard of fabric with printed quilt blocks in greens and reds. Gosh, that must have been almost thirty years ago!  :O  For some reason they intrigued me and I challenged myself to make as many different examples of red and green quilts as I could.

And it was a successful challenge because I really did eventually get everything but a few slivers into these little quiltlets!

the bottom one was tea dyed

the bottom one was an added idea

Kinda useless as they aren't even good for placemats!  But I learned lots about what I like and don't like.  And that is a treasure in itself!

I'm linking up with A Quarter Inch from the Edge for Throwback Thursday.
