Happy Pink Saturday! Please stop by Beverly’s blog to see a list of everyone participating.
This week I am sharing 2 quilts with you. One is vintage – found at an auction – and the other is one of the first quilts I made.
This is a section of the quilt I made. It is hanging on the wall and I didn’t want to take it down! I used 30’s reproduction fabrics. The solid color is mint green; there are a lot of different pinks in this quilt. I love 30’s fabrics. I pieced and hand quilted this quilt about 10 years ago.
This vintage quilt is very sweet. I love the old fabrics. It is worn and stained in some places. I bought it at an auction and have it folded in a basket that is in our upstairs hallway. I have another pink quilt that was made for me by my Grandmother that I will share another time.
Our Elsie May rose bush always has one last bloom period in September and October. Hello, sweet rose! See you again next spring!
Some of you may remember a vintage hatbox that I shared with you on one Pink Saturday. In that post, I mentioned a hat that I bought at the same time and some of you expressed interest in seeing the hat. If you scroll down one post, you’ll see the hat.
Have a wonderful Saturday!
Lovely quilts, Claudia! I’ve been busy making a few new ones this week, too. Let me know what you think when you have time to visit.

Beautiful quilt! I admire people who have the patients to quilt. Have a PINK weekend, Esther
Your quilt is beautiful as is the vintage one. I love the fabrics and colors in both quilts.. Happy Pink Saturday and have a lovely week.
Claudia, your quilts are beautiful! I really like the quilt you made. So in a hundred years will it be called an original handmade reproduction vintage quilt? Nevertheless it is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and glitter,
Patti
Cute cute cute… I love quilts. I said I was going to try and make one… but never got around to it. No patience I guess. I prefer to buy them, hand made and cozy with history…like yours.
Happy PS Claudia
Love Claudie

Quilts are so special and yours are beautiful. I think quilt making is beginning to become a lost art to most of us. It’s so time consuming and intricate. Happy Pink Day and have a great weekend!
Hi, Claudia,
Quilts are some of my favorite things. I love the green and pinks you used in the one you made. My hat is off to you because I can barely get a button sewn on!! Your vintage quilt is very sweet, too. You can’t beat those vintage fabrics. Love, love your hat!! Thanks for sharing your pinks today. Blessings to you. Vicki
Your quilts are wonderful– I especially love the one that you made. I love 30’s fabric too! I can’t tell you how often I’ve stalked ebay looking at vintage and vintage repro fabrics! (I have yet to win any!)
Well, I’m off to the Good Sam Miniatures Show in San Jose tomorrow am– Marsha and I will be thinking of you and wishing you were there!
Hugs,
Jill
Beautiful quilts Claudia. I love them both. So many bloggers are quilting. Amazing.
Happy pink Saturday
Love the quilts. As soon as I get back to Florida, I will get busy again.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Carol
Beautiful quilts, Claudia. My sister is a quilter. Even though she has the top of the line sewing machine that will do everthing but make coffee, LOL, she enjoys making them all by hand. She has one that several generations have worked on.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Marsha
Claudia,
Happy Pink Saturday! I love the colors on your quilts…especially the one you made. It’s so sweet.
Thanks for entering my giveaway, by the way. Have a lovely weekend,
Susan
Both quilts are really lovely Claudia! What a great feeling it must be to make a quilt. I’ve only done wall hangings … so far anyway!
Love your blog header too!
~*~ Patty
Beautiful quilts. What a great idea to fold it in a basket. I am collecting these ideas to warm up my “modern” sensibility now that our home is in the northeast. I peeked at the hat. Love it!
Wishing you a Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh, lovely quilts, Claudia! Happy Pink weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi

Hi Claudia, My pink roses are throwing out more blooms now too since the weather has gotten cooler. I have five bushes…all pink. LOL Even the wild roses on the lake hillside are pink. Come see me. :)
Hi Claudia…You’re a quilter,too. Great job on your quilt and the hand quilting is wonderful. Enjoyed seeing it hanging with your other collections. I love all the reproduction fabrics as well as the original 1930’s. I’m handpiecing a ‘Grandmothers FlowerGarden’ in 30’s reproductions and will show it soon. Thanks for visiting CollectInTexas Gal today…Sue

Beautiful quilts, Claudia, you are so talented. I love old textiles, linens, and quilts, I like things with a history.
My best for a Rosy Week.
I love quilts. Choosing the fabrics, sewing the pieces, stitching the quilting. And then you have a quilt, as well as the pleasant hours to make it. Thanks for sharing.
What BEAUTIFUL quilts and a lovely pink blossom too. Thanks for dropping by and happy Pink Saturday to you ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
Pretty pinks in your quilts. I’m a beginner quilter and my first class quilt was made of pinks. I hope to do another one sometime. How many quilts have you made? ~ Sarah
Thank you for lovely comments on my blog.Happy Pink Saturday!
You are a lady after my heart. I love quilts, especially older ones. They are mostly all hand stitched and quilted. I wonder about the lives of the ladies that did the quilting. Loved your post and appreciated your comment.
Happy Pink Saturday, oh, the quilts are beautiful, and the hat on your previous blog, and the table for your doll house! Perfect!
I have a doll house too, sitting on the floor, hope I find a bargain like you!
You did a good job on your quilt; the other one is pretty too. Happy Pink Saturday!
the quilt is precious and pretty and well done…your blog is pretty as well…happy PS
Hey Claudia!
You did a wonderful job on your quilt! It really looks like a vintage quilt where you used vintage fabric to make it!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Claudia, they’re beautiful! I don’t sew…therefore I don’t quilt. But I wish I did!:-) Mys sister is the quilter in the family…lucky girl:-) Beautiful post from Mockingbird cottage.
I love old quilts. New quilts are great too. You do beautiful work. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work of art. Blessing, Martha
Thanks for posting on my blog. I enjoyed perusing your blog. I loved reading about the table for your doll house and also looking at your quilts. Hope you had a great Pink Saturday.
SO pretty! I love the egg basket too!
beautiful, you must have a lot of patience to quilt.
Your quilt is wonderful, I love the pinks in it! I hope you had a wonderful pink saturday! Suzie

Claudia , this is a beautiful quilt , sweet colors and I think it will be a treasure for you and your family.Have a nice Sunday !!
Love Rini , the Netherlands
Claudia, I just realized I didn’t have you on my Google Reader, honey! What a faux pas….but you’re there now! I can’t believe it because I kept wondering why I never came across any of your posts so today I just checked and you weren’t there. I am sooooo sorry, sugar.
Anyway, the quilts are lovely. Just my idea of beautiful colors.
Then I saw your font and it looks almost like papyrus but I’m not sure what it is. Can you tell me. I do love your blog and am beating myself for not finding my mistake sooner.
Off to church,
xoxoxoxoxoxo

The quilt you made is the kind I really love. The kind I’ve mainly made myself. The simplicity of the patchwork quilt will always be special to me. It evokes memories of another time. When women made quilts from scraps of clothing and socialized at the local quilting bee. Love your quilt!
Brenda
Lovely Pink Saturday post and sweet blog, too. Woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground so even thought this isn’t Saturday I really needed a boost! Today you made me smile…
Sorry, I didn’t get to see everyone yesterday. I had important business. My 11 year-old grandson was playing football and he wanted Mimi to go to the out-of-town-last-of-the-season-game. THEY WON AGAINST AN UNDEFEATED TEAM! WOO-HOO! 35 – 17☺
Hope the coming week blesses you with sunshine, happiness and good friends.
Thanks for sharing your quilts, and the rose is simply beautiful.
Such a lovely pink post!
Hello Claudia, I do love your quilts so much. A wonderful pink celebration for Pink Saturday. I enjoy seeing them very much.
Jeanne, a lover of quilts.
So beautiful – makes me want to learn to quilt! I am behind in my visiting since we are still away – I love your little table your hubby found.
Love the quilts! The one you made is fab and it’s great that you have it hanging up where you can see it and appreciate it. I think things we make with our hands are so precious.
I am so drooling over that hat!! love the color of it, the flowers. all of it. it is yummy!!!
Happy Pinkness and Have a happy anniversary!
Gwen
Claudia, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your sweet comments!
Oh, I do love quilts! So much work goes into them and they are such treasures to snuggle under . . . or in some cases just to admire!
Thanks for sharing and Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh, love the hat!
Hugs,
Teresa
Your quilts are wonderful! And there is nothing like the “Last Rose of Summer” Very pretty. And that Black Vintage HAT was divine. LOVE IT. Sorry I am having Pink Sunday but, I had company all weekend.
Claudia-Love your quilts, I really like scappy quilts and I’am a sucker for a vintage quilt…usually something I would never have time to piece myself. Can’t wait to see your grandmothers quilt. I never tire of looking at quilts.
Oh my! Beautiful quilts, Claudia! Maybe, sooner or later, I’ll make a machine stitched one (unfortunately I cannot sew by hand that much…).
Thanks for sharing your pinks!
