Q is for a Quote by Queen Victoria
“Give my People plenty of Beer, good beer and cheap beer, and you will have no Revolution among them” ~ Queen Victoria
Q is for Quail, the California State Bird ~
Q is for Quilts. The State Quilt with State Flowers and Birds was made by my MIL Verna.
I can’t imagine the work that went into this. Sorry for the lousy photos of the quilts. I took them last year before I figured out better ways to photograph things…
The next two Quilts were handed down to us. The pastel one is from Dear’s grandmother Nettie and red patterned one is from Dear’s mother Verna.
For more posts on the letter Q visit Mrs. Nesbitt.
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and they have blacked them all out. I’m slowly working at restoring my posts without their help. Such a tiresome bother!

I don’t know if we have any quilts around, but I know we have a beer – maybe I’ll have one and toast for Queen Victoria?
I whole Heartedly agree with this Quote, cause I likes beer.lol.
Great post and great photos.
Pop over to see my Q post and the Bluebells.
What a great compilation of photos! Great Q post.
WOW!!! Beautiful!!
Hi, tis me again.

Imagine the Queen thinking that of her people. She must have been one mighty intelligent woman…who liked her beer! lol
Love the quote. She definitely had the goods versus Marie Antoinette. My Mimi was a quilter. My favorite is the red patterned one. Very pretty.
I love your Quilts. And the bird is very pretty. Nice choices..
Wonderful Q’s from you to day. Love the Quote:) But all of your shot’s are very nice:)
Have a wonderful week you too:)
Well done Queen Victoria. That’s a great quote and the quilts are so lovely. It takes a lot of patience to finish one.
I love your quilts, but I especially like your state quilt.
Wow… Ellen, I didn’t know you have a collection of quilts too! 😉 You always keep me in suspense as to what treasures you will show next on your blog! I love it!!! I absolutely love the bird quilt. And the others are just as precious because it’s part of your family’s heritage.
I like all the photos.
Great job.
Beautiful quilts.
Thanks for sharing.
Come visit my Quadruped,

Loved all your choices for Q. I have quilts too but you can’t see the patterns as well in mine. Come and see.
Amazing there are so many Q’s! Well done! Please stop by and help me choose an “about” photo.
Great Q post. you just don’t see anyone doing real quilting anymore. thanks for sharing another vanishing art..
Funny, funny queen! Wow, you found a quilt with a quail on it. Mighty good job!
Your “Q”s are fabulous. The quilts…wow…lot of work goes into those. And the “quote” is funny!
Mine is up and running.
lots of Q in here 😀 Great post….
thanks for drop to my post.
ABC Wednesday is lovely, because You always learn something new from all over the world.
Reminds me of visiting my Granny and rolling up in a quilt.
It was tough for me to find a suitable Q for this week, but you seem to have a great many! Love your photos. I’ve got a nice quilt at home perhaps I’ll be taking photographs of it for round 3 lol
OH! nice post today! Quail egg I know is a culinary delicacy here in my country!
Wonderful creative thinking here. Loved this.
Just goes to show the many ideas that are out there.

Hmmmm. I guess Queen Victoria wasn’t as starchy as some history books and her photos make her appear!
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a weather vane with a quail on it before.
Thanks for stopping by…love your Q pics too, esp. the Queen Victoria quote…that is great! This weekend we celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday so we get a holiday from work! Yay!! Have a great rest of the week!
Excellent ‘Q’ choice
well here is a whole queue of quilts. I think I’ve seen about seven posts this morning that featured some lovely quilts and you have a whole lot more.
Victoria features on two of my blogs today too.
Oh I didn’t think of quilt! I thought of quail but didn’t have any photos! And what a wondrful quote. Did she really say that? She must have been a wise old bird!
Quality Q posts!
Quite lovely quilts and I love the Queen’s quote!

Those are all great but I particularly love the Queen Victoria quote. Too funny.
Great Q post. I love quilts. myself.
beautiful quilts, it reminds me of one of my grand ma’s work. They are all great snap shot.
Happy WW.
love that dresden plate!
I admire anyone who is keeping the art of hand crafting things alive!
So many good Q’s here….and I had trouble thinking of just one! That’s a great quote!
did the Queen really say that ? I would have been a happy, loyal subject. thanks for visiting.
Well, I have Queen Victoria in a second post, but my regular ABC Q goes back to the Mountains. Wonderful family quilts. Take care of them for posterity.
interesting quote, thanks for sharing. BTW, I don’t drink beer, any alternatives?
Good choices for Q I really like your quilts.
Love the quilts – I’m about to start my first one EVER!
Greetings from England and have a great weekend!
Looks like WordPress gives us a quilt-like logo too 🙂
