Hexagons, Half Squares And Jugs!

That title sounds weird but that’s just what this post is about. Continuing with quilts from my visit to the quilt exhibition at Muzeo in Anaheim, these three quilts are each spectacular in their own way.

This marvelous hexagon quilt is a real document of all the fabulous fabrics available at the end of the 1800s.
This may have been intended to be a charm quilt because there are very few repeats of all that wonderful fabric.

This quilt is just exuberant!

She placed those light and dark fabrics so the light just dances all over this quilt! WOW!
And there are light and dark fabrics in this half square triangle quilt as well.

Isn’t it fabulous! Lots of color and conversation prints! Oh my!

Look at all those different prints! All hand cut, hand pieced and hand quilted!

But for me the showstopper was this really very simple but absolutely exquisite Jug Quilt!

This quilt just made my heart sing. I love the jugs. Simple appliqué but so representational. And check out those circular cornerstones. Isn’t it interesting that the jug often represents moonshine or wine in our culture, and those semicircular corners are really Drunkards Path which is a Temperance Block!
Very interesting!

Crazy Patch Purse By Machine 99 Cents!

As you can see, this is Crazy Patch for the machine age.  All stitching is by machine.  It is wondrous to use all those decorative stitches and different threads.  Sometimes I put two threads through the needle (one on a bobbin) just to see what would happen.  The results are fantastic!  The Crazy Patch is done flat then the purse is made from the created piece in a very simple manner.  Dig out your fancy fabrics… or just your favorite cottons!  And have a great time making this purse!
