Thomas Arthur Turner: Hollywood Highschool cartoons

My dad was a cartoonist from a very young age.

Checkers and hearts, just more blocks for a scrappy quilt

Seems that many of these using scraps of material dont work the same way when using my old singer to applique the edges. I could invest in a new machine, but not likely.

Another block here.

Checkers and hearts: block 27

Just more fun, scrappy quilt blocks, no new fabrics or thread. This one is a little rough admittedly, but the idea is fun.

Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks, each unique

Heart quilt with checks and hearts, individual blocks are so different and so fun to create. All from scraps, truly becming a scrappy quilt. This one, hearts specifically for one of my three granddaughters.

Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks, each unique

This quilt block has a heart made of left over lightweight blue jeans material which came from Polly Flinders down on 8th St. Cincinnati Ohio, in the 1980s. I bought tons of cutting-pieces from them there, as their cutters worked either in the same building or nearby. I mourn the loss of that company’s cutters and i think they ended up somewhere in the east by the coast. Anyway — the blue jeans cuttings were from little girls dresses, and it still has the cotton feel and still has that raveling look.

I am still using the 70 year old “green” portable singer…LOL, forward and backward stitches, and 4 settings of zig-zag, thats it.

Checkers and hearts – quilt blocks

Lots of check and hearts for this quilt for my granddaughter. Each is unique. Thats so much more fun than making 56 of the same thing, besides being a great way to use up the left over squares already cut, and the scraps of black, white and red fabric. I was a little surprised to find that the “star” made this distinctly more like a flag than a quilt block…LOL.
