It's done! It's done! It's really done!
Happy Friday, ya'll! 🤗
I finished quilting my "Grandma's Love" quilt!
Mr. Pinker bought me this quilt top last year for my birthday along with another quilt top. This is the 1st to be quilted. It is hand pieced and appliqued. It just took a little over 3 months to quilt it. Woo Hoo! Doing the happy dance. 💃💃💃
Do you know what this pattern is called? I sure would love to know.
I quilted 1/4" around the blocks. Do you see the heart that formed in the reds? That is why I called it Grandma's Love.
Oh lookie here! Here come the gals - coming to see my quilt. 🐄

Oh yes, your quilt looks beautiful, the colors are great and also the pattern in the fabrics. Your quilting is perfect and rounds off the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteA successful work.
Enjoy your weekend,
Martina
Oh thank you so much, dear Martina. I enjoyed every stitch in this quilt. It has been awhile since I have finished a large quilt so I am quite happy. Have a very lovely weekend.
DeleteHugs
Melisa, it's beautiful and I love what you named it. I snickered and giggled at your commentary about the cows. My grandparents had a ranch in south Texas and my grandmother loved her cows and they all had names. When I'd go visit she'd said "I haven't seen Belle in a couple of days. Would you borrow your grandfather's truck and take me to look for her". As we drove along at turtle speed so she wouldn't miss anything she'd practically hang out the window identifying every cow until she'd spot Belle. And, she loved her chickens, as well. Ahhhh the memories! I hope you don't mind that I shared.
ReplyDeleteOh, Darlene those are the sweetest heartwarming memories. I can just imagine ya'll truckin' through the pastures looking for all of the gals. I can certainly understand having a soft spot for certain ones too. The bovines all have their own personality. We have one named Molly that loves to eat pears. Lol. Those were the good ole' days weren't they? Times with grandparents are always a treasure. Thank you for brightening my day . Hugs.
DeleteBonjour Mélissa , il y à déjà pas mal de temps que je visite votre blog , j'adore ce que vous fait et trouve une multitude d'ouvrage à faire . Une fois encore j'admire ce beau quilt .Bravo
ReplyDeleteAaah, Happy Friday , dear. You just made my day. I so appreciate the sweet visits and the kind compliment. I can not tell you how much it means to me that you take you visit me . Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteAmy's lilies are beautiful! Mine are blooming now too, I dug up some bunches and transplanted them here at the new home. Grandma's Love is a wonderful name and it suits the quilt perfectly! Happy stitching on the other quilts!
ReplyDeleteAmy's lilies certainly put on a show this year. They were so vibrant. I am so glad you were able to bring some of your lilies to your new home; I bet you are enjoying them immensely. Thank you so much, Gretchen . Happy quilting.
DeleteMelisa, your quilt is stinkin beautiful and the name is perfect. You have a great stitchy weekend. ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much , dear Patti. I was over the moon to finish it . It seems like ages since I have completed a large quilt. I will certainly treasure this one.
DeleteWell done on getting the quilt top finished, Melisa! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Robin. I am flying high as a kite having finished this one. I would love to finish at least 2 more large quilts before the end of the year. Fingers crossed. Happy Friday. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful guilt, congratulations on the finish. You put so much love into every project you work on. Love the color of Amy's lillies ❤️
ReplyDeleteAwww you are so very kind, Cindy. Thank you so much. It was such a fun quilt to work on . The colors of it spoke to me and it was a joy to look over each and every scrap of fabric that was used. Have a beautiful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteI have no idea what pattern that quilt is. What a beauty! I love the red background!! (Of course anything red will ALWAYS get my vote!) Grandma's Love is the perfect name!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI think it is a mystery as to what the name , but I sure love it. Lol you are a girl after my own heart with the color red, Terry. Red is one of my favorites. Hope your weekend is off to a very lovely start. Hugs.
Delete(Little Penpen) what a gorgeous quilt!!! I love the colors and the hearts!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Penny. The hearts were unintentional, but they are perfect. I am so happy to have this quilt completed. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy quilting and stitching. Hugs.
DeleteIsn't that pretty?! So fun to see your quilt hanging on the fence and bringing those curious cows, too. Beautiful finish, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Diann. I finished it just in time before the 4th too. I love having it on display. Lol those cows are busy bodies and I certainly get a kick out of them. Have an awesome weekend. Hugs.
DeleteI really love this quilt but couldn't find the name of the pattern. I even used Google Lens but that didn't work either. I guess it's likely that the pattern was created by the original owner of the quilt top. So glad you got it and finished it. What a treasure!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Oh thank you so much , Donna for seeing if you could find the name. It is so unusual. I love the use of the scraps in it. Mr. Pinker did good on finding this quilt top that is for sure. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteIt has been adorable and I love how it looks flying in the wind!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!!
A hug
It was a good day to take photos of the quilt- just a slight breeze enough to move the quilt around a bit. I enjoyed every stitch in this quilt; in fact it was hard to put down. Thank you for the sweet Friday visit, Isabel. Have a blessed weekend.
DeleteI have no idea what the name of that quilt pattern is as I have never seen another like it. Congrats on your finish so you can enjoy it to the fullest now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen another like it either. It has been a joy to work on though and I am over the moon that I finished it in a timely fashion. Lol. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Vicki. I hope you had a very lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a great gift your hubby gave you, two quilt tops! You've quilted this one so quickly, and it certainly looks great, blowing in the breeze. I can see the cows agree too.
ReplyDeleteI was giddy when hubby gave me the two quilt tops. He certainly has a good eye. Of course I have told him he can never go wrong buying me anything sewing or quilt related. Lol. Thank you for the sweet Friday visit, Jenny and enjoy your caravan. Hugs.
DeleteMelissa it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear. I can not believe I got it completed so quickly so I am definitely over the moon. Thank you for the sweet visit. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteCongratulations! It would take me much longer. I've seen the quilt pattern before, but don't know the traditional name. Grandma's Love seems good to me! Love your diva cows, and the little ones learning camera behavior from their moms.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much , Susan. Grandma's Love was a joy to quilt . It felt good to get a larger quilt completed. Lol I enjoy the divas ; they are characters. Happy Saturday.
DeleteI've never seen that pattern before. It's so much fun. Those hearts are a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI just fell in love with this quilt top as soon as hubby gave it to me. With all of the red and the scraps, it called my name to quickly quilt it. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Gwyned. I hope you have a very lovely weekend. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a fantastic finish, Melisa!! I loved all the photos. Those babies are definitely cute! This makes a fantastic patriotic quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. Mr .Pinker did a great job on finding me the perfect quilt top to work on . It was a joy to quilt.Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful finish, Melisa! Isn't it the best feeling ever, to see a finished project that you've worked so long on finally come to an end? Those cows are not quite sure what you are up to! Love the red Asiatic lilies! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh it was the best feeling, Ginny especially since it has been awhile since I have completed a large quilt. Lol the cows are curious gals that is for sure. Thank you for the sweet Saturday visit. Hugs.
DeleteThis quilt is spectacular! She has been wonderful on you!

DeleteWhat a glorious finish! I love, love love the red background. This is a very unique vintage top that deserved to be finished. You should get a Rescue Hero Quilter Cape for this one. :-). And yes, the cow personalities are just delightful.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much , Rebecca. I have never seen a quilt design like it. I enjoyed ever stitch though. Lol I would wear that cape with honor. Happy July.
