Leslie Muir-Volpe’s Miniature Quilts
Leslie Muir-Volpe makes REALLY TINY quilts. I tried to take some pictures, but it’s hard to see HOW tiny they are unless you catch them in the background. Or, go to her web site: http://www.mainecraftsmen.org/flying-fox-studio.aspx.
She gave a terrific talk and trunk show to Coastal Quilters March 12th, and she will be teaching at Pine Tree Quilters’ Guild annual meeting next July. She’s an engaging speaker and a talented quilter. Here’s a picture of her: note the TINY hanging quilts in the background.
Here’s one of my favorites, but there were many, many favorites where the picture I took just didn’t do the quilt justice.
The “flying geese” in this quilt can’t be bigger than 1/2 inch! Leslie does machine quilt these tiny blocks, but she hand quilts the quilt itself. This quilt is about, as I remember 5 by 6 inches or so.
If you’re looking for a very special gift for someone, consider Leslie’s tiny quilts. She also frames them so you don’t have to.
