Pink Saturday

at by

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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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!

  7. 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

  8. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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!

  14. 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!

  16. Claudia, thank you for visiting my blog, I am a new blogger and having a blast!

    Love your quilts, thank you for sharing…and I LOVE your eyeglasses..so retro! Have a great Saturday

    Have a beautiful weekend,
    Amy

  18. 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. :)

  19. 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

  22. Hi Claudia,
    I wish I knew how to quilt! Your quilts are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderfully Pink Day.

    Smiles,
    ♥Ana

  24. Oh, wow, Claudia! GORGEOUS quilts. The colors just set me free. You are SO talented. I love to see what you’re up to on Saturdays! :-)

    Speaking of which I hope your Pink Saturday is perfect…

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  26. Oh! I love the quilt you made. The colors are gorgeous! I also love the vintage quilt. I can never see how anyone could sell these heirlooms but they do go to homes where they are loved!
    Have a wonderful pink weekend Claudia!

  28. Claudia, beautiful quilts, I have always wanted to make one but have not taken the time. I think you have just given me my inspiration. Thankyou, Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  30. WOW! You are talented! That quilt you made is beautiful…

    If you get a chance, stop by for a visit. I just put up a post of my newest items, my French Bucket Totes!

    Have a great weekend,
    Aimee

  34. 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.

  37. 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

  39. 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.

  40. 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!

  43. 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!
    Angela

  44. 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.

  46. 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.

  50. Hello Claudia,

    Happy PiNk Saturday to you…

    I love the quilts. I have a few that came from my grandmother. One needs some repair work done..one day I’ll get that done. :0)

    I love that hat too!

    Have a great day,
    Stepanie

  52. Just checking in on you, Claudia!!
    Those quilts are sooooo beautiful….. what a talent you possess!! I can’t sew to save my life~~ maybe one day, I’ll try my hand at it!
    Happy weekend!
    Christina

  54. 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

  55. 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

  56. 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.

  59. 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.

  60. 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.

  61. 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

  62. 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

  63. 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.

  64. 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.

  65. 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!
