"How
much piecin' a quilt is like livin' a life! You can give the same kind of
pieces to two persons, and one will make a nine-patch and one'll
make a wild goose chase, and there will be two quilts made out of
the same kind of pieces, and jest as different as they can be. And that is jest
the way with livin'. The Lord sends us the pieces, but we cut them out and put
'em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there's a heap more in the
cuttin' out and the sewin' than there is in the caliker." From: Aunt Jane of Kentucky, by Eliza Calvert Hall

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 250 of 250I love antique quilts and would love to make one of each but who has room for all those quilts. But I can make all the antique quilts I love in miniature.
My smallest quilt so far was 5x7” and the pattern was tumbler. I loved doing it and love it still.
I love your books and so glad you love miniatures like I love miniatures.

Thank you Kathleen for this giveaway. Quilts give an overpowering feeling of happiness in the choosing and sewing and living with their warmth. Small quilts are just as happy and a bed size too. We all get a closeness to our ancestors. Jan Wilkinson mystuff@wilkinsonranch.com
little quilts? so cute as deco items, use up lots of little fabric pieces, great gifts, get to try lots of new patterns...count me in on this fab giveaway!
I love small quilts because they are a great way to try out new blocks and show off favourite fabrics. Your new book looks beautiful. Mandy Hawkins.
I enjoy making small quilts because they are quick to finish.
Your new book will be inspirational, from the small quilts I've seen on your blog. I have a large stash of Civil War fabrics, and would love to have some new patterns and inspiration to use them. Thank you, Kathy, for all you do to promote a wonderfully satisfying and useful pastime.

They may be small but so much colour and creativity can go into them
I enjoy making something beautiful from what would probably normally be thrown away--scraps or small leftover pieces of fabrics.
What I like making quilts is just that making quilts. I love the fabric, putting the needle and thread through the fabric and making the stitches. I do like sewing on a machine, but hand stitching is my favorite.
Hi Kathy, I'd love the look of your new book! Thanks for this opportunity. I enjoy making little quilts with my scraps. Edith Harries. edeharries@gmail.com
Hi Kathy, I would be over the moon to win your new book. Love seeing everything you have made. Thank you for the opportunity to win one
I find that choosing the fabrics is the hardest thing in my quilt making. I love to make small quilts, because if the fabrics don’t go together visually, I haven’t spent a lot it time constructing it. I would LOVEto win this book!
Hi Kathy. I love all your posts and quilts. Would love to be in the draw. I have a hotmail account not g mail.??
I love decorating with quilts. Using smaller quilts give me the opportunity to use multiple quilts in one area. Besides, they are just darn cute!!
Hi Ms.Tracy,
You have created a wonderfully creative book! What I love about your small quilts is the adaptability. They can be as scrappy as I want them to be. I especially like their smaller size because they make wonderful wall collages that draw my quests' attention. Winning your new book would be a real treat but beyond that meeting you and hearing your stories was the best.

I enjoy using scraps in these small quilts. But most of all like the hand quilting. Love this preview of your new book!
I Love what your new book offers, Kathy! So many Sweet Patterns to try out for myself as well as for gift giving! You are such an Inspiration to step out & try new creations. Thanks So Much for this Special offer to win this one!
I love anything quilting related. My favorite thing is choosing fabrics that go together and putting them into small quilts. I have learned many things from reading your blog. I enjoy it very much.
Pam Myers (pkmyers1171@gmail.com)
I’ve loved fabric for more years than I know. My favorite thing was fabric shopping with my mother and just felling the top quality of the fabric hand. Quilting and quilts are the same way for me. Now we call it “petting” the fabric or quilt. I love making timeless beautiful quilts large or small. Your books and quilts are timeless beauties too. Thanks.

Hi Kathleen!
I love your quilts! They are so fun and creative. I would absolutely love to win your book, even though the odds seem against me. I think this would be a great addition to my humble collection. I hope I win!

I love making little quilts because they can be completed in a fairly short time and are a nice boost for that instant satisfaction factor. I make a fair amount of medium to large, complicated quilts. So doing a small piece is a nice change of pace and always great way to play with your scraps too! Win, win, I say!
I love to try out the patterns and color combinations in small quilts. They are quicker to make and easier to hang. Love the SmallQuiltTalk Community! Thanks for a chance to win the book! paulinefisher@verizon.net
I love making small quilts as I can get them done quicker and I can quilt them on my machine and do not have to send them out to be quilted.
Happy Quilting,
Carol in Delaware
Hand quilting is very meditative and relaxing to me. Love little quilts to see the end product quickly!

Hi Kathy! The best part of small quilts is choose fabrics from your leftovers stash. Sitting on the floor with all the scraps around your legs and find the perfect combination... I love it!!!!!
I love the simplicity of small quilts. They can be just as challenging as a regular quilt, just not as much fabric. I just bought your other book, Small &Scrappy....love love the quilts in it. I use small quilts all over my home and change them throughout the year. I love that you hand quilt them and look forward to trying that on the quilt I’ve chosen from your book...thanks for the inspiration.
I like planning and piecing quilt blocks the most! Finishing the whole quilting process is always an issue for me. I have lots of quilts in various stages!

Looks like a lovely book! I like making small quilts because I can easily try new techniques and they are handy to bring along. Cheers, Helle hesabella(at)gmail(dot)com
Making small quilts has become my passion. I love that I can carry a small quilt anywhere to work on the hand quilting. I decorate with them all over my home. They are in baskets, hanging on walls, and on tables. This small quilt group saved me when I moved to a small town away from family and dear friends. I felt like I took a lot of my best friends to my new home with me. I will forever be grateful to you,Kathy, for that.
I love making small quilts because I enjoy hand quilting them!
Great 'Little" book....
thanks for the giveaway.
Hello Kathleen,
I live in England, so don't know if I qualify for your giveaway, I love your books and reread them often. I love the projects, small allows me to focus for a little while as I deal with health problems this is ideal. It also allows my love of the whole history, even though I'm English I love the early American history, so full of stories of life. I'm looking forward to your new book it sounds right up my street. Thank you. Kind regards Mandy
Hi Kathy,
I preordered your book as soon as I saw the darling house quilt on its cover!!! Can’t wait to have it. I love tiny quilts. I love to win it.

I really like small projects with flowers and baskets.
Thank you very much for the opportunity.
Kisses from Spain,
I love the small quilts and the colors. I work by hand and love your quilts.
Small quilts can just fit in anywhere - on a side table,in the bottom of a basket, rolled up with other smalls in a basket, on a cupboard shelf with part of it hanging over or just in any small empty place! The possibilities are endless and just make you want to make another one as soon as you finish the one you're working on. And they make great gifts - if you can bear to part with one.

Little ones get done so much quicker, and can be a practice in what goes best together... contrast is important … or is it low contrast... playing with colors is so FUN!
What I love most about quilting is that there is no end to learning. Playing with color is next. I simply can't get enough of it all.
How nice of you! Good luck to all.
I love making small quilts because it lets me try new patterns and styles of quilting that I would never attempt if I had to make a large quilt right off the bat! Like hand quilting and piecing, applique, curved piecing, free motion quilting... You get my drift! bethnrog@gmail.com
I love minis! First choose colors and fabric Pattern .minis are so cute and perfect for present.
i am inspired by knowing with each hand-quilted stitch i am leaving a loving legacy to my five little grandgirlies. thank you.
it's cathleen again.....my email is memacathleen@gmail.com
