I am not sure why it's taken me so long to post about this quilt. I quilted this quilt back in April 16/2023 for a customer, who then donated it to the HHQG. I guess it kept getting pushed down, as new pictures were being taken.....and got lost as time moved on!
I like this quilt. It's a bit of a sampler quilt. This was a joint effort, made by many hands. I believe they called it a tinner's quilt. The way it went was, that there were a bunch of people that decided they wanted to make a quilt. They each put some fabric in a "tin" and these tins would go around to each person, who would then make some blocks, to make a row or round, that the owner of the tin would then put together. Depending on what they ended up with, would direct the design of the quilt.
The tin would make it's way around to each person to add in their interpretation of the theme, that was chosen by the owner of the tin and fabrics. The theme of this quilt, if you haven't guessed it already, was Spring. You may have to enlarge the next picture to see the words, but it says Spring.
This was another section of the quilt that I thought was pretty. The pretty paper piece tulips and above them is a block of different bird houses. This one had some embroidery done to it, for the vines that are growing up the poles. Do you see the bird perched on the top of one of the bird houses? So cute!
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but here is hoping that Spring makes an appearance some time soon..... I am so over all the snow we've been getting. I want some beautiful sunshine and time outdoors in the garden. Bring it on!!!
Take care everyone.
