Blogging has been such a wonderful experience. I've met so many amazing people...even if I've never actually met them in real life.
One of those people is
Sheri Howard. Sheri is a quilter and author of quilting books (here's
a link to her first one...so cute!). She asked if I could make cookies for the editor of her second book,
Not Your Grandmother's Quilt.

{Here it is...aren't those quilts pretty?!? See that one in the lower right corner? We decided to do a simple square based on that for the cookies.}
I really enjoyed making these quilt square cookies. My mom was a quilter...so is my sister, my aunt, my cousins.
I love that even though my mom is gone, we have these "pieces" of her in quilts. Something tangible, something to hold on to, something to pass down to our children. A lot of time and LOVE goes into quilts.
I think my mom would have liked these cookies. And I know she would have loved Sheri's books.
That pop of turquoise with the light blue dots is my favorite part. I can just imagine how pretty a quilt must be in these colors!
Congratulations, Sheri, on your new book! I think I may need one for more quilted cookie inspiration!

I'll be linking these up to TidyMom's
I'm Lovin' It party!

These are superb and your Mom would have loved them. Both my sister and I quilt and I just made her some "quilted" cookies to take when I visit her this weekend. Yours are awesome Bridget and the book will be a great Christmas/Birthday gift for my sis.
ReplyDeleteI got the inspiration for my cookies from the Crazie Cookies's blog. She is just as talented as you are.
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love these!!!
ReplyDeleteI love quilting and I love these cookies!! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteIncredible! I love beautiful quilts, and cookies, obviously I love those too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a quilter and those such beautiful works of art!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever visited http://cookiecrazie.blogspot.com ?
Pam makes the most gorgeous quilted cookies - you are sure to find lots of inspiration over there too!
Great job!
Those are beautiful cookies! I don't quilt either, and all these blogs make me so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI love your COOKIES as much as I love quilts! I don't have much time for quilting, though... maybe in a couple of years :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of sewing!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE it! I have always wanted to know how to make pretty cookies. I tried your vanilla-almond sugar cookie recipe just this morning and they turned out great! I used royal icing to decorate them and they turned out beautiful-at least they are beautiful to me for being my first attempt. Thank you for your blog! Your quilt cookies today are just too much! Way too cute! I am going to try to make some when I get a little bit better at decorating.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Awesome job! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bridget! I just found you through Sheri's blog and am happy that I did! Your work is amazing and I cannot believe how adorable those cookies are! I have never seen anything so cute in my life. I will be back often!
ReplyDeleteLove them! Yes, Mom would have too! It makes me want to make a new one!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! Love the colors of the quilt cookies.
ReplyDeleteGayle would have loved these. Great job.
ReplyDeletelove dad
Just PRECIOUS! You are definitely my cookie idol!
ReplyDeleteyou are super talented! wow...those cookies look absolutely amazing...i would be afraid for anyone to eat them...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies! That is really nice that you have your mom's quilts. They must be very special to you.
ReplyDeleteWow these are fabulous. I think I'll have to bake some for my mother's (she's a mad keen quilter) upcoming birthday and hope they survive the postage to Australia.
ReplyDeleteLove these Bridget! Quilt square cookies, what a great idea. My favorite color combo too.
ReplyDeletehaha!! It's so funny that you did these! I was just saying to my husband today that I needed to sketch out some quilt block cookies. My mom is a professional (and semi-famous I might add) quilter. Has her own business. She's been begging me to send her cookies and I was just about to sit down and sketch some when I opened up to your post! How funny is that?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I love the color combination!
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable Bridget! And lots of work..I love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteI love the title,you got a chuckle out of me. Those look so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, I love the color combo! Blues and browns are through out my home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
your quilted cookies are fantastic! some of the best edible quilts i've seen! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Bridget! You did a great job. I love doing quilt cookies too. I think it so fun to make a cookie look like some of the things we cherish in "real life". :) I'll be looking at the new quilt book for inspiration. Thanks for all the wonderful things you do on your terrific blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great job on the cookie quilts!
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful that you have quilts that your mom made...when you wrap up in one it's like a hug from your mom:)
Adorable! Love these!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!! I so love how most of the sites I've seen about cookies and cupcakes get isperation from just about everything.. LOVE IT!! I've got to try that.. Thank you!!
ReplyDeletethese are amazing!
ReplyDeleteBridget, these are just too cute! I have a surprise for you and am going to try to get it mailed this week. Watch your mailbox!:)
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! Your mom would love them.
ReplyDeleteSOOOOO cute and I think I am in the same boat as you~Quilting is not quite my thing~ but your Mom was the first to teach me how to quilt(prob to keep us out of her hair for the summer) ~I will always remember that! I think I will stick with cookies like you ha;)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fun opportunity! You did a great job! And, congrats to Sherie!
ReplyDeletegreat job! it's funny how we all have our "things" in life. i could never do gorgeous cookies like you do (even though i've tried!) but i love to piece quilts- the more the better!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cookies, as usual! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this! I like the colors! So beautiful!
