Small Quilts/Wallhangings

very nice... love using up fabric... and so useful..

Will be great for the fourth or anytime...such nice colors...great way to use up leftovers!

Very nice use of scraps. I have done a lot of that lately.

The most stunning and awe struck thing I ever witnessed was the 21 gun salute and taps being played at my father's funeral. and because it rained and the flag got wet they offered my stepmom a new dry folded flag because they do not unfold a folded flag...

There is something about red white and blue that I find irresistable. Love this.

Do you also get emotional at parades when the Vets march by? I do. Maybe because hubby is a vet. Just something about seeing them in uniform makes me tear up. Makes me PROUD.

Oh yeah, I blubber like a baby at the National Anthem. The most heart wrenching scene I have ever witnessed was all the vets that lined up and saluted my father's casket when the flag was laid on top. The very first was my brother, then my son (active at the time) a granddaughter's husband then all my cousins and after that all the neighbors. Even the active military honor guards were neighbors to my father. THey were really struggling to keep it all together.

Yep. Blubber like a baby!!!

I don't so much with the old guys but get emotional when I see all the fine young men and women together. My eldest son was Air Force for 15 years.

How can we NOT care about the deaths of brave young men and women? A country has a great loss from these fine people's deaths.

Thanks, everyone. I also tear up everytime I hear the national anthem. I remember when my son was in the choir and they sang a patriotic medley, he said he could hardly hold it together to sing, made me proud he felt that way.

Here are a few wall quilts I just finished. The roses were part of a quilt a-long in 2010. The pattern is from an April 2003 American Patchwork & Quilting mag. The deer scene is behind glass so hard to get a good pic. The pattern is Crystal Night by Doris Deutmeyer from my LQS.

Very nice!

Both are very nice. I am a mite partial to the roses and if you run out of room to hang these beauties, I'm sure I could find room. In fact if I hung the roses in my office cubby it would make me think I was looking out my non-existant window!  

Those are very nice Annmarie. Love the roses on the soft green.

Ohhhh, Annmarie.  BOTH are stunning.  You really do such beautiful work.  Hubby would love that deer one!   

They are both beautiful....will be enjoyed. I really like the flowers....but....I'm partial to flowers!

Wow, they are gorgeous, love the deer scape best of all but Im a sucker for wildlife quilt designs! Did you put glitter on the trees? What wonderful projects    

Ann Marie, you can have my name any ol' day for Secret Santa! Those are really lovely.

They are both beautiful, but I really love, love, love the deer. That is simply gorgeous!

very pretty...

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. Here are 2 more minis I just finished. The owl was a free pattern somewhere but can't find it again. The designer's site is www.cherryblossomsquiltingstudio.com but I don't see it there. The girl reading book is from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Vol 7 - the designer is Stacey Carey.

So cute!  Love her batik quilt she's using lol.  The checkered fabric is a great border for the owl.

Nice work!

Those are both delightful.

AnnMarie, love both. Owls are always adorable, but I love to read, so that one has me written all over it.
