| Look who we have for our sponsor of this hop! Can you believe, these gorgeous batiks, from Island Batik. I am in awe. Three of you will be enjoying these fabrics shortly after this fun hop. Groovy!!! |
 |
| Here it is! I wanted to share the Love. I am from that era, but definitely was not a hippie or flower child. The pictures from the previous post show that I was more "straight laced" . I loved the Beatles, watched the Smothers Brothers, and Laugh In and the Ed Sullivan Show. Once I moved from my folks home, I did wear mini skirts and dyed my hair blond. |
 |
| My quilt represents the Love and Peace. The smiley face is still around. The white dove and the peace sign, have had variations, but still represent peace. I had some fabric that had the "Bug" on it and made my field of flowers. The border is made of old style batik. Remember when there was the madras plaid and they over dyed it to make it into a batik. I had to wear my shades when I worked on this quilt. These brights were were outta sight! |
 |
| Here are closeups of my blocks. There is paper-piecing, and applique, and a free form arrangement. |
 |
| The heart block has "Love" written in the batik fabric. |
 |
| Love the "bug" and smiley face fabric. Had to make a little yellow submarine. |
 |
| And of course there are flowers. Thank you Madame Samm for letting me be the cheerleader for this cool hop. This chick had a blast creating the groovy quilt. I hope everyone has a far out time hopping. Here is our list of participants. Please stop by and cheer them on.

I love bright colors and love all these batiks. You nailed it, Mary. Beautiful quilt with all the 60s memories. Thanks for cheering this hop along.
Thank you for cheerleading us down the 60's memory road. I can remember my oldest sister & friend won tickets to the Ed Sullivan show to see Elvis - they ended up getting stranded at a hospital as her friend passed out dead away at Elvis' Pelvis moves and they got taken from the studio - we had to travel umpteen miles to go pick them up and get them home. So much for seeing Elvis.
Your quilt is fab! Thanks for being a jazzed cheerleader. ;)
Your quilt is perfect! Thank you for being the cheerleader for this fun hop!

Yes, those were the days, my friend! LOL! They thought we were weirdos, with all the wild clothes and long hair... much like when I look at someone today with all the tatoo's and piercings! Hummmm some things never change I guess! :-)

Great fabrics and the quilt is wonderful. Lots of fun memories there.
I love your quilt. All the bright colors are really great. This blog hop really hits home with me since I really grew up in the 60s with all the peace signs and other things. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Batiks for you can use them in so many different ways. You made a beautiful quilt.
Such cute blocks...I love the Twister block also. I was a teen in the 60's, but definitely wasn't a hippie...but did enjoy all you mentioned too. Thanks for sharing with us and hosting this "cool" hop.

Peace, Love, Quilt! Thanks, Sister Golden Hair ... :) Pat
Cute quilt. Love the Smiley face.
Far out! love the quilt! I was a Jimmy Darin fan too!
Great job! You depicted teh 60's wonderfully on that quilt! Bet the back was tie dyed:)
Love how you represented the 60's in your mini quilt and with the bright colors especially the sweet little twister block how cool. The 60's were my happy 's years, way cool.
Love your quilt. All the variety of blocks and techniques, the bright colors. Thanks for being cheer leader and congrats on being one of the chosen.
Mary-Your quilt is groovy! I too, was a "child of the 60's". I grew up in SF, but not a radical. In fact, I chose to go to college someplace else because of all the turmoil at SFSU. I met my husband but he enlisted and got away from all the protests too. We didn't get married until he was discharged after spending a tour in Germany then Vietnam. Now as we look back, we try to remember the good things. Thanks for sharing and bringing back all the good things from that time.

Hi!!!! Love it!!! The bright colors are far out!!!
Mary. That is an amazing quilt! Really loved what you did. You captured everything - worth remembering and some not-so! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work today.
I love the picture of you in your white gloves. That certainly was one version of the 60's and you wore it well.
I love the way you captured so many images of the 60's in your squares. Groovy.
Lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing.
Great quilt to represent the 60's.
I have enjoyed reading your blog and the others-I am a child of the 60s, too. Your quilt is great.
My daughters were born in the 60's and I remember sewing little bell bottoms for them. We didn't have a VW but we rode around in an Isetta. How cool was that? Love your quilt!
what a fun and bright quilt.... just what the 60's were about.
thanks for sharing

Amazing. You hit all the high points of the 60s on your quilt. Very creative and picture perfect. Could be a "Kodak Moment."
Great quilt. I love all the different blocks, esp the yellow submarine.
Your quilt is truly a tribute to the 60's and I think you covered a lot of it. Thank you for leading this Groovy hop. Creative Stitching Bliss...
Mary, your quilt is fabulous. It totally represents the hippie era. Love the bright happy colors. Great job!
What a great quilt! Bright and colorful, and sew 60's! You host a great hop!
The little twister block is perfect! It brings the 60's into today with lots of color. Great quilt!
Cool. I love the bright colours which only batiks can really pull off. Ed Sullivan----having a nap Sunday afternoon so as to be allowed to stay up for his show. The characters and performers I would have missed if not for taking that nap! Great was the day when Mum determined I was old enough to forego the nap.
You certainly show the love in your quilt. I absolutely adore it. The colours pop out and you represented all the symbols in a unique way. I loved seeing it! Thank you.
I love that quilt you made! So very 60's. I was there also!
I love it - so many memories come with this hop. :) blessings, marlene
Great job! Your quilt is very cool!
Hello Mary.
Your quilt has it all, a great twist to the 60's. Great work, thanks for sharing and for beeing a great cheerleader!

Well done, Mary! You captured quite a few of the 60's emblems in your quilt.
Great quilt bringing back lots of great memories from growing up in the 60's. Thanks for sharing this beautiful quilt.
Mary, I like you, am a child of that era and was/am more straight-laced. I had to take a "good" pair of jeans and put iron on patches to make words on them for a party back in the 60's. I don't think I ever wore those jeans again. I love your quilt. I love the mention of madras. Oh, how that fabric bled. Your quilt captures the essence of that time period and the batiks you chose are beautiful. Thanks for participating and being the head cheerleader.
What a total groovin' quilt. Everyone comes up with such wonderful memories of the time. I, too, wasn't a flower child though I liked the 'burn your bra' part of the movement! And mini skirts, they were fun, too!
