I have 3 more patterns to show you!
This first one is fun and easy
and made from one 10" square of each
of the
Millie's Closet prints...
along with tiny pinwheels
in each corner sashing:)
I named this quilt after my
Great Aunt Isabelle
who just lived down the road
a few houses from me
in the small town (Herriman)
where I grew up.
She was my Grandma Millie's
oldest sister
and was a wonderful cook as well
as a wonderful quilter.
She was a very kind lady who worked hard to take good care of her large family.
I have very fond memories of
Aunt Isabelle and I was in her home often...
I was in charge of taking her
extra cream from our cows:)
Her home always smelled so good because she always had bread baking and something wonderful cooking on her
old fashioned stove...
which she still preferred to use
even after my Uncle Elt bought her a
brand new modern range:)

Next up is a mini quilt and pillows named after my Great Aunt Marjorie who was also one of my Grandma Millie's 5 sisters.
Aunt Marge lived in Riverton with my
Uncle Tom and their children.
(she actually lived a few houses away
from Mr. Honey whom I didn't meet
until we were both 12)
Riverton was 5 miles away from Herriman!
Because my Grandma and
her sisters were very close...
I saw her often and I especially
remember her being very
put together
at all times and up with
the latest in fashion.
Her home was always spotless
as was her garden and her aprons!
I also remember her lovely embroidery
and her tiny quilting stitches
that she prided herself on...
9 to the inch to be exact:)

Next up are covered hangers.
Each are made from one fat quarter
along with a few buttons on some and
some different trim on others.
I thought it would be fun to
sew up a bunch in honor of the theme "Millie's Closet".
It was really fun to quickly
stitch up a covered hanger using
each and every print in the line!
I crocheted some lace on the
bottom of a few...
Bound the bottom edges of some and
topped them off with a fabric flower with a covered button center.
On some I used trim from the
Of course the directions for each hanger...
trim... and flowers
are included in the pattern.
