Welcome to Marcia's Quality Quilts Blog!

I have been a quilter for over 30 years and finally got around to sharing both the quilts and my experience (I'm really just getting around to learning how to do online stuff!). I've started an Etsy store (Etsy.com/shop/CaringQuilts) and hope to connect with others of like mind in the quilting community.

Welcome and please let me know how I'm doing so far!

Here it is mid-Summer with the heat without rain - which leads to the threat of fire here in the woods.  We were very threatened by fire the week of July 15th.  The town of Idyllwild (home of Marcia's Quality Quilts) was evacuated for 5 days.  The threat of fire has now passed!  The town was saved and I can once again view the alpenglow from my kitchen window each afternoon.  KUDOS to ALL firefighters!

Quilt making is once again full speed ahead.

Since my May post on this Blog, some very nice quilts have been added to the Etsy store:  two Bargello wall hangings - "Sea Shore" in blues and browns and "Rocky" in browns and grays.

Look for new listings in the near future: for example, Red Hot Chile Peppers, Sweet Peas and three baby quilts!

Spring has Sprung . . . and is Winding Down already!

The daffodils have faded in the yard, but they continue to bloom on two bright wall hangings recently added to the store:


Check out the new Pinata wall hangings Quilts (large and small) as well:



I've listed a few of my personal favorites (Judy Neimeyer designs); they are in the higher price bracket.  
For example, the North American Bear Paw quilted wall hanging:



 Also, there is a Shabby Chic Twin Quilt that is longing for a new home:

Merry Christmas

The shop is stocked with Advent Calenders and several small wall hangings.  The adorable elves are available in several sizes.  The vintage fabric place mats would make nice tree skirts for your miniature trees.
The blue poinsettia quilt/wall hanging is a refreshing break from the traditional red and green.  The same pattern was used to make Nature's Own.  This quilt would be ideal for that special man or the vacation cabin.
The walker caddies and geezer crossing signs make fun gifts for those maturing with a sense of humor.

Oh, Good Grief!

Ummmm, they almost all disappeared! 
Don't know what I did, but most of my listings disappeared!  We're trying to re-list them as fast as fingers will type! 

When the critical mass is re-listed we'll be listing some new items before completing the "reconstruction".  So hang in there!  "We'll be right back!"
