Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Would you like to have a (virtual) green beer and view some awesome green quilts?

Green Zig Zag quilt by Heather Larsen. She loves green. Her blog is Bitty Bird Quilts.

 Tree of Life quilt, c. 1880, from Greensville, New York.

Pickle Dish sold on eBay. Someone Pinned it, then it was removed from eBay. No source page.

It looks like an unfinished quilt top. Gorgeous.

Luxurious quilting by sewfarsewgood. She quilts for other quilters too!

Do you have any St. Patrick's Day traditions? 

I call my Mom and wish her the "top o' the morning."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This wonderful Double Irish Chain quilt was made by Renee Healy of California. She's a member of the East Bay Heritage Quilters. I love the green dappled background and the winding stream! 

These two quilts (above and below) were featured on Quilt Inspiration. That blog is appropriately named!

Jour de Semaine Charges by Gyöngyi Váradi, seen at the Hungarian Patchwork Society. Featured in the magazine Magic patch n° 90 - Jeux de couleurs (France). Shown above.

This Tres Belle Irish Chain was made by Lois and featured on the Little Quilts Blog. Little Quilts is a quilt shop in Marietta, Georgia. Lois is one of their customers.

There's some green for ya!

Julia Wood's "Tic Tac Tomato" Selvage Quilt!

Julia Wood has made another amazing selvage quilt, "Tic Tac Tomato." (Remember she recently made the beautiful "Green Zinger.")

This is what she had to say about it:
"This is a 12" x 12" art quilt. The selvages form the tic tac toe grid. I stamped the tomatoes with real tomatoes and fabric paint. Then I appliqued them to the grid. The quilt also features beading (for seeds), puff paint (for mayonnaise), and lots of hand quilting using embroidery floss."

I wish I could have seen her "stamping the tomatoes with real tomatoes and fabric paint." I keep trying to imagine how she did it! Those beads look just like tomato seeds! And that mayo! And all that quilting! Incredible, Julia! This is delightfully and exceedingly creative.
