thank you!!!
Thank you all so much for the enthusiastic and kind response to my fabric line announcement! I can't tell you how grateful I am for your kind words...they mean so much!!!
Yesterday I did a double header trunk show for a quilt guild in Rochester, MN. After I showed my quilts at the afternoon meeting, a kind woman folded and carefully placed my quilts in the pews in front of the church. It was pretty fun to see them all lined up like that! I texted the photo to my husband and commented on how church pews make good quilt holders. His immediate response was, "we aren't buying any." Well, it was worth a shot, anyway, don't you think? Maybe I can keep working on him...the pews would be pretty fun to fill up with throw pillows, too! :)
Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!

What a beautiful and cheerful lineup!
ReplyDeleteScreened-in porch needing a bench? An old Victorian porch needing a bench? A long entry-way that needs that just right something? Yes, I know, I am enabling! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts!
lol! Your quilts make the pews look so welcoming. Churches should really consider this! :D
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a spoil sport, just kidding. If you had your way, pastors would have avery hard time keeping the congregation awake--all snuggled up in quilts and throw pillows.
ReplyDeleteChurch pews make excellent quilt holders! What a pretty display of your quilts.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it! :) :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your bright colors. I cannot wait to see the new fabric line. And WELCOME BACK :)
ReplyDeleteWhen we have Senior Sunday at our Church, the quilts for the graduating seniors are displayed like that on the front pews before the kids are presented with them and wrapped in them.
Our Church also displays them like that when the ladies are finished with their work days.
I do admit, I get easily distracted though during Church when the quilts are out on display.
Hahaha -- that's exactly what my hubby would say. They know us well. Killjoys!
ReplyDeleteI thought of the pillow idea before I got to that part of your post!! Ha! Nice try with the pews-keep working on him!!
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful! I am beyond excited for your fabric collection!!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather pastored an old country church years ago. I would love to have one of the old pews from that church, but they are long gone. You never know what you'll find in an antique shop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! You are one of the inspirational quilters that started me quilting. I love your Sunday Morning quilts book. We share the same need to husband our fabrics carefully and use every last bit. Thanks for sharing every week! Barbara at creaturecomfortquilts.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteYour right! Church pews look amazing with quilts on them! There are the 2 best things! Church and quilts!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Jean, thanks for coming down to Roch. We really joyed your presentation and quilts. Can't wait to try a quilt from your book.
ReplyDeleteWszystkie prace są piękne. Twój quilt jest cudowny.Miłego dnia:)

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your presentation and your sense of humor. Can't wait to try one of your quilts and also use scraps to knit a rug.
ReplyDeleteThey do look great displayed on the church pews. Had to laugh at your husband's reply... lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo! Thanks for sharing your chat with hubby...the pillow idea really cracked me up!! Congrats on the fabric line...so great!
ReplyDeleteThere is a guild in Plantersville, Texas, that does their quilt show in a church and they display the quilts folded over pews. Love the bright colors of your quilts!
ReplyDeleteSunday Morning Quilts was the first quilting book I ever bought and I see quite a few of those quilts hanging over the pews! They all look fabulous! I hope you can talk your husband into buying a pew for future photographing opportunities. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious that that was his first response. Our men know us too well!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree they make a great display. I always enjoy seeing your work.
love the quilts over the church pews - such a cheery view!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back ... this photo is perfection. You are my quilting hero, plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteMy friend just attended a funeral in a very old church in Austria, she said it was freezing and everyone had quilts to cover up with... I think quilts have a very welcome spot in churches and so much bright and happy reflects our Happy God and his happy people! I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteLoved having you at our guild, so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices, Amanda Jean. They just make me happy. And looking at your quilts displayed like this is truly eye candy for me. Yum!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your fabric line and hey, how about another book? I love Sunday Morning Quilts. I'm a fan for sure!

ReplyDeleteI attended the evening
meeting and to see the quilts displayed as we entered the church was so inspiring.
Oh, if only I had such bright scraps instead of OLD darks.
You are as bright and cheerful as your quilts.
your husband is funny and that's a great way to showcase all of your quilts at one time!!!

ReplyDeleteYour quilts look fabulous and so very colorful draped over the church pews. Hmmm . . . wonder if my church would let me take a pic like that.
