More time.....more finished and delivered quilts.
This is Lucy's Star Quilt. Made this for a friend's new daughter. The blocks are Friendship Stars and the quilt design is from Start Quilting with Alex Anderson. My first two quilting classes were taught from this book. I have made five quilts from this book now!
It has taken awhile to find the right quilt block to make my oldest daughter's quilt. Found one on Quilt in a Day's Free block patterns.... "Leah's Star" Which was just perfect because my daughter's name is Leah!
This block is gorgeous (almost as much as my daughter) and super easy.
I started her quilt last year before Christmas and finally just finished it....
This is a picture of it before the binding was turned to the back to be sewn down. Just love the fabrics!
The backing fabric is fantastic! I am happy that Leah was very pleased and I hope it was worth the wait!
Almost done with her husband's camping quilt... Rows are almost sewn together, then just a thin border of the same orange fabric used in the sashing... then it will be ready to be quilted.
It has a t-shirt quilt feel to it! I just cut up a panel of outdoor camping, fishing and hunting scenes for this top. Hope to get it done in the next couple of weeks.
Our house has always been full of kids, family and lots of pets. As the older family members passed away and our children grew up, moved out and got married... their pets stayed with us. And for that I have been so grateful. It made it easier to cope with the whole empty nest phase.
But over the years, as our pets have left our family, we have not been replacing them. It is just too hard emotionally.
We lost our Gordon a few years ago.
And this week....
We lost our dear Michael. Leah found him nearly 14 years ago during a storm and he has been with us ever since. The sweetest cat ever.....
Good Night, my little crafty kitty and sewing buddy!
