It's finished

This is the quilt I just finished. The fabric is from the "Hungry Animals Alphabet" and it's a double bed size


Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted here, but, this is worth it. I finally finished a double bed size quilt for an almost four old granddaughter of a good friend. Her grandmother got sick and unable to make a quilt for her as she had for all of the other grandchildren and was so upset that she couldn't. She passed away last April and my DH "volunteered" me to do it. I really resent being "volunteered" to do something without being asked to do it first. But, I quickly set my resentment aside and got to work. So, here are the pictures of Morgan Lily Love and her new quilt.

These are a couple of pictures of the quilts made at the quilt retreat I taught in October. It was a mystery and they all got finished with their tops and seemed to really enjoy it. I sure had fun doing it.

Depending on the fabric they used, they all looked very different from each other. This group gets together twice a year, March and October, and I'm the "resident teacher". I toss out several ideal for the next retreat and they decide which one they would like to do. Then I work up a sample, fabric requirements, and write the instructions unless it's a published pattern or book and then they have to buy it. I have a lot of fun doing it.

Another wedding


Last Saturday, my youngest DD's neice got married. All seven of DD's children were in the wedding. I thought they all looked very nice in their "fancy" clothes. In order of age starting with the oldest, Daniel is in the red vest, Christopher is the tallest, Allison in green and Victoria in pink are the same age, Jeffrey is in the white shirt, Heidi is the tallest in blue, and Katrina is the youngest. My DD, Angela, made the blue dresses. She does a great job sewing, when she has the time to do it. My challenge to you, can you tell which three are adopted?
