Sew & Share Day Nine

Day nine includes two sewing artists and friends of Let's go Sew. Take a look at their handiwork with quilts both big and small.

This one is from my friend Sue McGurk. What  a perfect way to say "Welcome Spring!" Let's see what she has to say about her quilt.

Here’s a little wall hanging I made for a swap....tried to be a little springy and bright to forget about the winter dreariness!   I’m so happy to see a little sun today!
Hope you are getting a lot of sewing done.  I am 😀​

Next we have a couple creative quilts from Diane. Looks like her loved ones are in for something special with each one of these one-of-a-kind quilts. Thanks for sharing these Diane!

​I  finished making this quilt for my nephew and his wife. When they opened the box their five year old grand-daughter Ryley was there and exclaimed “it’s a Frozen blanket”. She loves it so much that I told my nephew to give it to her for her bedroom in their house. My nephew said he probably couldn’t get it from her if he tried.  

The second quilt is one I am making to hang from the balcony above our living room. The design if from Anitagoodesign. There are fifteen blocks done in the hoop and sashing between the blocks and the rows.

Update! Diane sent me a photo of her finished quilt with more descriptions about the fabrics she used. Please read her udated info below and take a look at her incredilbe finished quilt!

"The blocks were embroidered on canvas; the appliqué, sashing fabric and binding are linen and the back of the quilt is canvas. I wanted something substantial that would allow the quilt to hang from the balcony in my living room."

I think this will wrap it up for a bit unless I get some more photos and stories submitted. 
Thanks to all who sent in such wonderful pics and stories! We'll have to do this again sometime soon!

Please leave your comments and questions for Sue, or for Diane below.
