The Changing of the Quilts

It's time to change the quilts. 

Goodbye Patriotic quilts! 

Hello Late Summer Quilts!

The 3 vintage, thrifted shutters that I have propped against the wall are all decked out for the month of August. 🐝🌻

It is "Bee and Sunflower Time" in the foyer, and some bright and  sunny quilts hopped out of storage in order  to celebrate . 

Front and center is the Scrappy Bee Skep Quilt. I shared how I created this simple quilt in 2021 along with the applique pattern.

 

Over the Bee Skep quilt, I pinned a little quilt called "Buzz"  that I embroidered a few years ago . Last year it was displayed on the Coca Cola crate on the hutch. 

 On the 2nd vintage shutter, I draped a simple yellow patch quilt top that I purchased at the thrift store years ago. It was certainly cheery enough to enjoy for my late summer quilt display.  Don't you think? 😀💛

A little chicken wall hanging joins the yellow/ white patch quilt.  I appliqued this small quilt years  many years ago using scraps from the bin. Oh, I do love chickens! 

"Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye; Four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie. "

The quilt on the 3rd shutter in the back is called "Four and Twenty Blackbirds" . 

There are 24 crows on this quilt . 

Some are appliqued, but most of the birds are  quilted in.

 This quilt is always displayed in the fall when I pull out my crow decor. 

Speaking of fall, I am already dreaming of fall decorating. Are you? 

Meanwhile though, I will enjoy the sunny colors for a while longer.  

Have a sun shiny day!  

 As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
