Quilt Info #7:
Pattern: Mango Garden Quilt from Tilda's World
Size: 12" x 21"
Thread: Glide--Thyme
Pantograph: New Growth 2 ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches
This Tilda pattern is free, as are all of Tilda's patterns. I made the parrots half size--the original size for one is 13" x 40". My two parrots together, with border, finish at 12" x 21".
This quilt is a gift for the director of JELA, Kaoru-san. I made these as much like her two parrots as I could. You can see the antics of her parrots on her Instagram page, caorussimow.
I'll be shipping 25 mini quilts out today. Their final destination is Japan, but I'm shipping them to an address in the US, where someone will be carrying them back to Tokyo in their suitcase. International postage is so expensive!
Here are all 25 quilts that will be going to our church mission office, JELA, for their yearly event and fundraiser on September 23rd, to be used for their work with refugees in Japan and other countries.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

What lucky little quilts to be quilted so masterfully by you. Each one is just exquisite. I really love the little church and now have the pattern in my cart (I'll do my quilting as "Methodist" fan - LOL!) Also love the Amazing Grace and the little acorn. Beautiful work, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so adorable Nancy! I hope they bring in lots of $ for the cause.
ReplyDeleteYou've come up with so many fun little mini quilts, and for such a good cause, too. I love them all! Well, maybe I love the watermelon the best, lol! Hope they bring in lots of money at the fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love seeing them all together. I like how you made the parrots match the real ones.
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous quilts! I really love the parrots and I am sure the director will be thrilled. Fabulous that you don't have to pay the mailing rates...and that they will arrive safely...and support the mission's cause!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing, Nancy! I wish them all the best in the fundraiser! They are all so fabulous; I can not choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of minis,Nancy. Each is unique and interesting and colorful.
ReplyDeleteThese little gems are so adorable!! The quilting is just wonderful and exquisite too. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteYou've really been busy with minis this year, and they are all so cute! I'm sure the parrot mini will be well received - you did well in matching the birds!
ReplyDeleteWonderful minis to add to the fundraising! Each one is so different and the gray grunge? backing is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable gems! I love the story behind the parrots. You captured in fabric them perfectly! Suitcase travel is the best shipping method ever!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! Each one is nice, and will be well-received. Good for you to make all these... and it's brilliant to quilt them in a batch, as you do on your longarm.
ReplyDeleteWell done squeezing them all in the same pretty backing ;) All of them are lovely, and your quilting matches beautifully the themes as usual! I love the little acorn and the Windy Oak quilting. The parots are gorgeous, and you made them so like the real ones! Love the red feathers on the grey one. These are lovely minis for a good cause, thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful quilts. ❤️ Thanks for sharing in my Sew and Tell party.
ReplyDeleteThe minis are all charming. Thanks for the link to the JELA site -- they do good work! Good luck with the fundraiser!
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of your minis are awesome. I have that Tilda bird pattern hanging on my bulletin board, just waiting for me to decide on colors. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty quilts! These should help raise a lot of money for your cause. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Mini Quilt Jenga!! Love it - a new quilting gme haha!! Those are all so amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell bummer... I thought I'd commented on Monday. I know I went off to look at the free acorn pattern and then checked out one of the quilting patterns.... and I bet I never came back to tell you how much I liked all your minis. Great job. I hope they bring a goodly amount of money for the charity.
ReplyDeleteI am playing catch up again.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see all your minis. I do like the way you can quilt them all together.
Am I allowed to have a favourite. I really like the parrots and am going to have a look at the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
