Back in the very late 1980's and early 1990's, Red Wagon from Liberty, MO, published several books that had some really nice very primitive patterns. I thought they were so cute and did do a couple of wallhangings from them. These books are all by Red Wagon and most of them were published in 1991. Certainly have been buying books for a long, long time and have a lot of them. We quilters love our books - and fabric!
This book called Snowbound was one I especially liked and I did the little piece that is on the bottom left of the cover page.
This was done about 20 years ago and is machine appliqued and hand quilted. There were a lot of patterns for primitive pieces done in the old homespun plaids and small prints. I still enjoy things like that but my interests went in other directions - got caught up in the batiks, orientals and bright colors. I can honestly say I really enjoy all styles of quilting and have done most of them. I think it's safe to say that one's interests do change over the years when it comes to the work you actually do. One thing for certain, the fabric has really changed over the last twenty years.
I still wish I could do it all but realize I have done a lot. There are some pretty good sized UFO's hidden away at my house, but many, many more pieces have been finished. I am taking some pictures of some of my older work and will post those for you to see. (Click to enlarge)
