Pretty Quilt

Isn't this a pretty quilt, it's just striking with the black and white and red. Well my friend Cindy called me and said my daughter is getting married, I need this quilted fast for her shower, help! So I quilted it this weekend for her so it's ready to get bound and off to the bridal shower! She did a great job on it and I thought it came out so pretty! It's full size and I'm sure her daughter will love it. The best part for me was how busy the prints are and the back is the border fabric so my quilting didn't show so much,whew! It's always fun to see pretty quilts and what other people do.

I got little Noah's quilt done wihle here in Mississippi. I was still stitching binding down, but he got it in time to take along for his pictures this week. Some of the squares and the airplane bodies are soft and fuzzy to touch.
Have fun with your quilt Noah!

Marti's quilt

I was teaching my tooth Fairy Pillow class today at Scrapbooks Etc. and got to see Marti's quilt she got from us for her birthday. She's the owner of this marvelous store and she had her birthday last friday so a fun party was held and she was presented with this quilt we all made the blocks for. Jenny put it all together for her and Louise quilted it with every last charming detail you could want in it. It's so much fun to look at. My block was the 3rd from the left in that bottom row.Look at the fun detail on the back even. What a fun quilt for her, she deserves every ounce of love that was put into it!

Beautiful Quilt !

I got to see a wonderful quilt yesterday at my parents home. I wish now we'd have spread it out for a better picture. A distant cousin gave it to my parents so it would stay in the family as she was afraid her children would not appreciate it ! It was made by my Great-Great Grandmother on my Dad's side and given to this cousin. My Great great Grandmother was born in 1858 and Imigrated from England and passed on in 1931, so I'm thinking it was made sometime in the 20's or earlier. Machine pieced and hand quilted. I thought it was in wonderful shape, one place on the binding is worn and there are a few little stains but it's amazing how wonderful it looks. She wrote on the back corner of it like a label in pen. What a gem ! I'm so glad that she realized what sentimental value it would have to keep it with those that would appreciate it.
