November Mini

 My November mini, “Madders of My Heart” utilizes some of my favorite reproduction “madder” fabrics. I don’t wear brown, but I surely love it in nature and in antique quilts. 

I used this beautiful stripe as my sashing.

Visit my fellow “Mad Mini Makers” to see what to see their November creations.

 And, I discovered something silly, but interesting over the weekend. I got a new phone recently and there are so many more emoji’s than my old phone I was sure I would be able to find a quilting one. I could not believe the obscure images I found and not one even close to being quilt related. Being from Maine, I love curling as much as the next person, but I cannot believe I found a curling stone and not one image of even a needle and thread! Are there really more curlers in the world than quilters?

Enjoy the day!

  2. LOVE your mini and the Xs make me think of the Xs as in XOXO. That's funny about the emojis. No one in the emoji department has a grandma or auntie who quilts? No one? ;).

  3. Your minis never fail to inspire and this one is no exception! Sashing and border fabrics are just perfect.

  11. Oh, Wendy, what can I say? This is a block I have intended to use for a mini quilt for some time now, but have yet to follow through. Now I don't know if I will even try. You have nailed it with the block, the colors, the sashing, the border. I am in awe. Love, love, love it.
    So where do you call or text to complain about this major oversight in the emoji department??

  13. Lovely little quilt. The colors are so satisfying and the sashing is perfect. Making a mini is always in the back of my mind as each month I see what everyone is doing.
