Canning Jar of Sunflowers with Flag Quilt

This small quilt I made with wool applique. The design is from Heart to Hand Design (by Kathi Campbell). I love sunflowers, so I had to give this one a go.

The applique is wool felt. The background, border and binding is cotton fabric.

I love text fabric like the background, especially a more subtle text like this as it makes it look a bit more old fashioned like ti looks faded. I should have bought a bolt of that background fabric, lol! I don't even know where I got it.

Collection Jar of Teddy Bears & Piggies Too Quilt

I made this quilt for my daughter when she was a teenager. Now that she is 30(!!!) she no longer wanted this quilt. She loved Teddy Bears and Piggies as a child. She still likes pigs, especially piglets. So when I saw Val's linky archive about animal quilts, I remembered I just took a photo of this quilt as a memory. Since this was made long before I started blogging, I thought I would share this quilt with you now.

I used fabrics that had Teddy Bears, except I had to throw in one with pigs, since my daughter loves pigs too. I added small Bear Paw quilt blocks in the corners.

Here is the pig fabric. So cute!

Looks like the "Where's Waldo" of Teddy Bears.  (Since this was photographed on the rocks, the top of the jar didn't lay flat)
Be sure and check out the other animal quilts over at Val's Quilting Studio too.
