Jackie Quilts

Jackie Quilts quilting 40 years now, never tire of them..ever ever... where all my family lived. They did the long arm quilting on the tops.

Well, I was lonely living in Missouri in 1989 when we transferred there with GM to a new plant, from Calif. I was babysitting for someone and one day she said, "do you sew?"..yes, I said, She said, she knew a lady that needed seamstresses to piece quilts..never heard of such a thing..I went to see this lady, miles away, winding through the dense Missouri backroads..There they were, a quilting busi

ness, and a BIG one..I applied, made a lone star in a week, and was hired, hence making 6 lone stars a week then onto 6 dahlias, and so on. Upon moving back to Calif in 1993, I dreamed of owning a long arm..In 2000, I was fortunate to be able to buy one and the rest is a long trail of thread and batting scraps:) Quilting has changed my life and added so much to my days~!!~

EVERY SPRING...the day I was making this quilt 15 years ago was the day I had 3 rattlesnakes in the yard in that one day...
Thus, meet Rattlesnake Trail...

So, each spring I post this snake trail to remind everyone to watch your step. Rattlers lie in unexpected places..I have 19 stories to prove that !!!

Today was #20, at the cemetery, close enough to call a missed experience, we found a fresh 4 ft snakeskin on one of the graves, probably a gopher but one never knows.

A small ladder with small quilt blocks.. ..there were 80 blocks. All in very good condition, very old and fragile and framed in red...yikes..

I took them all apart so now they are ready for an idea to assemble again..they are all Rosie approved and on the way to a new identity, using the original pieces..

Old and new, all at once..

OLD TIMERS...locals and family...I enjoyed a townsfolk's collection this week..

The 1931 Ford is cute as a bug !!! My memory quilt of Moms items looked pretty nice on the side rack.. in 1931 Mom was 11 years old. Part of her quilt here has clothes, tablecloths, and a piece from her cousin Winnie's home in Chester UK..It was given to me on my visit there..I knew it would pair in a quilt.

Then my local family and I used the 1947 Dodge for years..but I hadn't started quilting back then.

And last the 1935 Dodge, the first date truck with my girls dad ..it sits rusting away into the earth..sadly...
BUT, I layered the family denims upon the hood for the memories of all us OLD TIMERS...and our trucks.

GRANDMAS FLOWER GARDEN...thats the quilt, 1930s fabrics surrounded in era teal, backed in black..such drama...

I dream of an old flower truck, this 1948 Ford fills that dream...fill the bed with blooming pots and sit downtown and sell my flowers.

Until my dream comes true, I will settle for Grandmas old quilts !!!

MY QUILT SURPRISE...came unexpectedly today..coming from post office I pulled out behind this truck and instinctively followed him..he ended at his shop and I stopped, and asked to bring a quilt..he said sure !!!

I went home. And grabbed 3 quilts..as I saw more treasures inside..hoping he would invite me in.

Please join my giddy pleasure to view this fabulous 1954 GMC "snubnose" 350 workhorse..I only imagine it houses a Detroit Diesel ...my 1940s red scrap quilt comes alive draped here and there with this Big Boy...

Love it love it love it..more tomorrow !!!
