This was a kit given to me by my quilting cousin, Sue!!! I added a few flannels and lengthened the finished quilt for us tall people. Thanks, Sue!!!
My DH loves to drive, so that freed me up for some hand stitching while traveling! I embroidered these 8 tiny pillows from the book, Bowl Me Over, by Debbie Busby! I've made 30 tiny pillows total from this book. My sister and I have been making them as a SAL and have been posting them on Instagram.

Lots of lovely quilts! Great that you were able to sew them when away.
ReplyDeleteI like the look created by the strips in the hexagons. And the name of that pantograph you used gave me a good laugh.
Great to see all the little pillows you stitched along the way, too. They are delightful.
Now that was a fun read with my coffee this morning! My favorite quilt is the flannel one, is that perhaps because it is a cool morning?
ReplyDeleteLove them all! Each one has something I just adore....but I think that Strip Lash with the perfect back is my favorite. You did sew alot...so you bring a machine along and sew when you have down time?
ReplyDeleteThose are such great quilts, Nancy! Do you travel in an RV, so you can bring your sewing machine along? That would be fun! I love the little bowl fillers, too - I might need that book. They would make the perfect travel stitching!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vacation you had, and as a plus you got so many lovely projects done! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

What a productive vacation! I'm impressed with all the piecing you accomplished, and now quilts!
ReplyDeleteNancy , you was one busy lady while on your vacation and what sweet memories I am sure that each quilt holds.
ReplyDeleteYou really cover a lot of territory when you travel, and then you get quilts made, too! They are all lovely! Nice finishes!
ReplyDeleteI love these scrappy version, especially that scrappy backing! That is so cool that you could do all of this stitching on your vacation! The Hubster and I car camp, so no sewing machine, but I did pack a hand stitching project to bring on vacation. And then I promptly went out the door without it. Ha, ha! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you were busy during the road trip! Lovely quilts, I love the hexy one with so many interesting fabrics! Gorgeous autumn quilt too, it looks so cozy, and the quilted leaves are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these 3 beauties, and linking up!
I would say that was an awesome road trip. Your quilts are really lovely. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteTraveling and quilting--sounds like a dream to me!
ReplyDeleteThese are all fantastic. Love how the backings are pieced, too. Traveling and quilting are the best!
