Barefoot Books- LadyD: Quilt

The photo of the quilt was edited by inverting the colors. So here we have Tinker Bell in blue. This is a bit different and not my favorite but you get the idea that you can reverse the colors. The original fabric is purple. Photo for Blue Monday.

Fairy, fairy, in the garden,

Will you come tonight?

Dancing in the cool moonlight,

All silver sparkling white!

Fairy, fairy, in the garden,

Will you come tonight?

Dancing in a little ring,

What magic will you bring?

Fairy, fairy, in the garden,

Did you come last night?

I can tell that you were here,

My little fairy dear!

(sung to the tune of Mary, Mary Quite Contrary)

Hear The Tune

Hopefully, all the little fairies have danced with the moonlight before the 'rising sun' quilt appears!

I had lots of flannel pieces of fabric saved. These little remnants were perfect for doll blankets .

Here is the original Tinker Bell Quilt. Her wings are a slight turquoise blue. I put a saw-tooth border around the edge so that the pointed triangles would go with the fairy wings.

The Tinker Bell quilt now has a new look in reddish-orange, with a weave added for texture.

Now my grandsons would like a music quilt. I think the shades of rust and gray look nice together.

Have you made a quilt before or own a few? I have made so many over the years and have given them to my children and grandchildren. Each one tells a story and I like that.

Be sure and visit these nice memes today by clicking on the photos.

Kitty on the Quilt

My Siamese cat "Jazz" loves sitting on the quilt while I'm hand stitching around the flowers. Do you like to quilt or have you purchased a quilt?

A quiltmaker helps a selfish king learn that giving is the true secret to happiness. The heartwarming, strongly moral tale supports important values, and the detailed illustrations, featuring dozens of lovingly rendered quilt patterns offer hours of delight.
