Mary Lou's Pacific Grove Quilt

We;;. I finally am done and ready to give this quilt to my quilter....you see I quilt by check. I started this a long time ago when I wanted to tell a story about the best things I like about Pacific Grove California where Asilomar is. I put on the best restaurants in town and things that are wonderful about it. I have gone for 17 years and most of those were twice a year. On this quilt I have a house marked that says "My Lotto House" because I believe that someday when I win the lottos I can move there and just sit and sew and enjoy everything about a town that I love called Pacific Grove. This now has three borders on it....it has lots of details and color and once I have the photographer take a photo of it, I will share it here.

NOTE- I have photos from five people I want to share on my blogs. I have been so busy and kind of preoccupied with my husband who is ill that I haven't taken the time to look up the images I want to share...I have not forgotten about you and your lovely quilts. This was just easy to post because it was on my floor and quick to load.
I am jazzed about classes I will be teaching this year and I am hoping to get back to the Midwest and South more in the coming year.

  1. Thank you, Mary Lou, for sharing the pretty Pacific Grove quilt! It looks like a wonderful place to live!!

    I particularly like the quilts on the clotheslines linking the houses. What a cute idea! Embroidering the names of the houses and the special items really makes it fun!

  2. Really love all of the details and fun fabrics, that you used. I can't wait to see it quilted and how she does it. I always get stuck with pieces that have a lot of detail.

  3. I absolutely love it!!!!! The colors are so happy and fun. Must be Kona black background. See, I starting to figure it all out! Now I know what you mean when you say you buy yards and yards of the stuff. It is THE color for backgrounds- makes everything POP!

  7. Mary Lou, I love your new quilt. I'm always excited when you show us a new one. You make that place look so inviting that I'd like to go there. (And I HATE to travel) Thank you for inspiring so many of us to tell our stories through quilting.
