Granddaughter Chelsea's quilt finished for Christmas 2005.
Chelsea told me to make her quilt with hearts in purples
and write why I love her in the blocks. Simple!
The baby quilted below were done
for two new great nieces.
Granddaughter Delaney's quilt went quicker. She loves
pink and wanted hearts with her name and birthday on it.
Of course, some ballet print had to be included.
She received her quilt in March 2006.
My sister Theresa's long time friend from high school days, Adeline Aiken has been a quilter all her adult life. As you can see from this alphabet quilt, her work is just beautiful. A few years ago she gave me the pieced top telling me she had the beginning of Alzheimers and didn't know how to finish the quilt. I added the batting, backing and edge and finished hand quilting it on
Sunday, September 10, 2006. I sent it back to Theresa for her great-grand children.
This four block table top sampler was my first try at quilting. Then I proceeded with the king size and a pillow to match....
and I haven't stopped yet!
Every Labor Day weekend, our Parish has a picnic serving the most delicious food you ever tasted. They include a carnival and quilt wheel with 40 handmade quilts raffling 350 tickets for $2 each. You have a difficult time getting to the tickets because everyone wants them. Parish women donate the quilt tops and usually join as a group to hand quilt the top. I decided to try my hand at doing a 'Memory Scrap Quilt' for the quilt wheel for the first time. Memory because the fabric brings back memories of the quilts orprojects you've made. Many pieces are from the above quilts. I think it is especially pretty.
