Morris Quilts

Evening Star by Sheila

William Meets the Farmer's Wife

By Sheila Oaten

Sheila (The Quilting Gammy)  made blocks from the Farmer's Wife sampler in William Morris reproduction prints.

The patterns are from a book by Laurie Aaron Hird

I found this quilt I made last year in the stack of unphotographed miniquilts. I used a package of 1-1/2" precuts, sorted them out by value into lights and darks and made a strip quilt by piecing strips along the diagonal.

The ever creative women at Common Threads in Waxahachie, Texas have kitted up the Southern Gentleman pattern by Sindy Rodenmayer in Morris & Company prints.

Penny Pierce is teaching a class in embroidery. For her sampler she used 1 metre of the Daffodil print from my Morris Tapestry collection. She said it's a good thing she's Canadian so she got a metre instead of a yard, because she couldn't have gotten all the sashing and the border out of a yard.

I don't think I ever posted a picture of Roseanne Smith's "square in a square" quilt finished.

Here it is hanging down at Sarah's Fabrics.

She framed square in a square blocks with strips and cornerstones and then added wider strips and cornerstones.

Her inspiration was this quilt from about 1900 she saw on an online auction.

Send me pictures of stuff you make from these Morris prints and I'll post them here and on my Pinterest board.
