August Thimbles

We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.

-Madeleine L'Engle
We begin this show with the lovely Karman, and further proof that my photo skills are always at the top of my game. I'm thinking of buying a killer digital SLR camera. I think I'm ready don't you?

Look at Lynn's quilt she finished during the Stitch IN. WOW now this is so great. I love the way the black makes the batiks POP.

This is a future quilt by Karman. It is going to be great. We will see it soon I'm sure. (no pressure K)

Here is a Kaffe or Amy or somebody wonderful quilt. Funky and great! I think Karman did this quilt but then the mind gets foggy with so much eye candy.

Front of Shelia's quilt very nice.
Back of Shelia's quilt. I love me some pieced backs. Yes I do!

Kim who is giving this (another!) quilt to her sons college age boy. I hope he takes car of this cuz I WILL go Mel Gibson on him.

Brenda with her second Christmas quilt in two months. I will be spending Christmas night at her house. Zoom in maybe you can see the vintage SANTAS. cutie cute cute.

Mercidene and another batik fantabulous quilt. This photo does not do it justice. I don't know why. It is so bright and fabulous.

HOLEY TINEYNESS. Look at the pen..look at the quilt...Look at the hand quilting....look at the applique...I seriously can't take it. I took this tiny perfect thing and personally took it to everyone in the room. Karman made this...miniture marvelous. I can't take anymore of this perfection.
Linda has such an eye for color and design. I love this quilt particularly the coverlet fabric in the center. It is terrific. She will not give it to me. I love her anyway!
Neutral...simple...fabulous...PERFECT. I love that dark inner border. Nice touch Sue!










Sue finished the Road To Romance quilt Stitch N' Quilt kitted up for us back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It was well worth the wait don't you think? Good job Sue really good job....!

Can I have some Ceddar Cheese please? Red and CHED. Simply the best.
Lookie lookie the story on this quilt..Suzanne gave Julie two hefty bags of scraps. Julie made this KILLER Christmas quilt..from the dadgum scraps. My skirt blew up with this one and as for me. I am now hanging on to my 14 Hefty Lawn and leaf bags of scraps. Suzanne cried and wants her scraps back. 






The disappearing NINE PATCH. Always a crowd fav!





Cathy and her fabulous Lily Pad quilt kitted up for Silver Thimble Quilt Club by Patchwork Cottage! We really enjoyed this one. Sooo summery..without the HEAT!
That is all for now..loading these photos and getting them to appear right on my blog is getting on my last nerve. Can somebody come over here and fix ME? don't  answer that.
PS. Don't for get my GIVE AWAY...  just CLICKY THE LINKY

Those are some super creative and talented ladies. I'm not going to comment on any quilt in particular because they are all wonderful.
I wouldn't fret too much over your camera skills...just put that new camera on your wish list for Christmas!

Marcy Lendaro said...

As I look at the quilts I keep saying "oooohhhh, I like that one the best, not that one, no that one"....good thing I can like them all the best!! Thanks for sharing all of the great pictures!

When taking a photo if you'll slightly press the button first it will auto adjust ... then snap. Sometimes it also helps to stand slightly off center. And your camera probably has 'auto fix' software for photos.

Getting photos where you want ... I store all my photos on webshots. I use their 'link it' function to insert my photos.

Wonderful quilts ...

Pat said...

GREAT quilts from your group, as always...and that miniature is SUPER. I love teeny tiny quilts like that!

katie said...

Wow oh wow what a quilt showing this post was.
I love the Christmas log cabin and of course all of Karmen's quilts.
Great group you have with lot of fun I am sure.

HA! well the first picture looks like your lens was either foggy (which believe it or not happens quite commonly in the south!) or it had a fingerprint smudge on the lens! make sure you use a soft cloth like for cleaning your glasses when cleaning your camera lens

Barb said...

I just love it when you show all of those projects...justs love it....

Winona said...

Oh wow! What wonderful quilts. That teeny tiny one just had me dropping my mouth open. You sure hang with a bunch of talented ladies. Winona

Hi Pat!
Yes, "Petit Design Co" is right, when we went outside the lens fogged up. That's happened to me before. We both need super-cool digital SLR cameras! Great job on the post and photos. Karmen

"Here is a Kaffe or Amy or somebody wonderful quilt." It is actually Tula Pink Nest. TulaPink is just as wonderful as Kaffe or Amy.

There are some fabulous quilts there, but that miniature is just breathtaking.

Fleurette said...

I enjoyed seeing the quilts, they are all beautiful, love the yo-yo's and the miniature!

Susan said...

It's not your camera skills. It's the heat! My camera does the same thing when I go from the air conditioned inside to the outside. You just have to give your camera lens 5 min. to unfog before taking a pic. That's if you can last 5 min. in the GA heat!!! I loved seeing all your pics of those great quilts!
