Blog reader Karen Renninger sent me a picture of her latest
completed project. Those are Florabunda blocks with Miss Karen as the center.
This is all hand appliquéd and hand quilted. SWOON.
Wow -- what exquisite craftsmanship! Wish I could see it in person. Congratulations to both of you, the quilter and the designer who sparked her imagination with beautiful patterns!
That is truly inspirational. Isn't it amazing what a simple color change can mean? It looks like two different quilts. I mean it was gorgeous to begin with but I am really liking these colors also!
The quilt is absolutely beautiful. I'm also interested in the quilt maker...my mother's maiden name was Renninger and she was born in Tiffen, Ohio. I wonder if there is any relation?
What a surprise to see my quilt here this morning....thank you, Erin, for your designs and inspiration!! And many thanks to readers for your kind comments! This was a fun project and now even better that it's finished and ready for our guild's show in Feb.!
Marie....my husband's family was from Boyertown PA area. We always heard they were no relation to the OH Renningers, but who knows, perhaps if you go back far enough, they were.
Thanks again, ladies....have a joy-filled Christmas!!
Oh my goodness is this beautiful...
