This magpie girl art quilt is finished and just in time to celebrate my art show and Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day.

Her collections is attached (see her in progress here) and I added the phrase ‘shiny baubles made her heart leap.’ It’s a very happy quilt for spring. The quilt measures 16” x 12”.

  1. She turned out gorgeous. I have started collecting fabrics. As I am still a fairly new quilter. Trying to create one of those stashes everyone else seems to won. It is slow go…No local fabric stores fo rme without driving a minimum of an hour in any direction. I collect a few book series. Ann Rice. Christine Feehan’s dark seriesis one of my most favorites. I am slowly trying to get some quilting acrylic ruler/ templates. Just basics for me.

  2. How gorgeous! I used to collect green Depression glass. I guess you could say I collect dust right now!

  3. What a fun idea – giving here a 3D skirt.

  4. What beautiful work! I collect those little Mexican pottery piggy banks. The kind with no hole on the underside. They are so colorful and each has a different pattern painted on. Thank you for the wonderful give away chance!

  5. I collect several things: Salmon Falls pottery, Blue Willow China, and Santas.

  6. This is beautiful! I collect pig figurines!

  7. I love the colours on this one! I don’t collect anything, although I do have a small number of lizard items.

  10. Your 3-d quilt is simply beautiful! I collect fabric – especially cotton fabric that other people just don’t want any more. It’s been a fun adventure!

  11. Fabulous!
    I collect spoons and jugs!

  12. I collect thimbles, handmade pottery and fabric!

  15. I have collected depression glass in the Iris pattern. Now I seem to have a collection of fabric. It is much more available than the glass is.

  16. Veronica says:

    Currently, I realized I collect fabric and un-finished projects… But my favorite collection is photographs of my children right now!

  22. Ellen M. says:

    I have a small collection of old books (early-mid 1900’s), mainly cooking and sewing. I love the peek into the past that you get through them. Shiny baubles make me happy too! Many thanks!

  23. I usually try not to collect anything – I grew up in a family of collectors and if they ever caught wind that you had three or more of anything, you’d find yourself with another five come Christmas, so I’ve made a long term valiant effort to avoid collecting things. But… I do have several hundred books (somehow I feel it doesn’t really “count” if it’s books), and probably a couple hundred cds. And the less said about my fabric stash the better, I imagine 😀

    Anyway, this Magpie Girl is as lovely as they always are – I really like how you’ve quilted the background, that flower is really nice.

  24. This is lovely!
    Well, I collect fabric. And vintage notions. And vintage Pyrex. Those are my current obsessions!

  28. Michele R. says:
