Q is for QUILTS

Q is for QUILTS, and I love the colorful QUILTS made by TwoJean Designs.

 She makes all kinds...for the bed, the couch, the wall, the kids,

 the table and even inexpensive mini token quilts. 

The Selma quilter often sells her creations at crafts shows

 and has an Etsy shop online.

Jeanann's Wonderful Quilts of Color

If you have fabric scraps, Jeanann can use them!

Jeanann Syzmanski designs and makes these colorful quilts from scraps

 sent to her by friends from many places. This display was part of her booth

 at last weekend's World's Widest Yard Sale.

Lessons from the Best

You're never too young, too modern or too high-tech to learn an old technique!
The famous Quilters of Gees Bend graciously shared their quilting knowledge with this young Selmian at Artisans' Day on Saturday. The event was sponsored by Easter Seals West Central Alabama Rehabilitation Center, and proceeds helped fund SPEC (Special Education Preschool Center). Numerous arts and crafts were for show and sale, and along with the quilters, other demonstrations included pasta art, basket weaving, percussion techniques, wire art and pottery. There was a silent auction and plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs enjoyed beneath the shade trees.

(These are the same quilters who recently were visited by presidential candidate John McCain during his Time for Action Tour. You can view that video HERE.)

Colorful Quilts - 200th Post

These colorful quilts were on display at the Central Alabama Fair last week, and I see that some of them won ribbons. I am fortunate to have several handmade quilts of my own, made by quilters on both sides of our family.
I just noticed that this is Selma, Ala., Daily Photo's 200th post, so what better way to celebrate the occasion than with handcrafted heirlooms from quilters in the area!
