I thought I'd take a few pics of a few of my favorite quilts.. The first one (photo above) was made for me by my best friend Mardi. It's a tied lap quilt made with flannels. I took this one with me all the way to Mexico. Boy! Did it come in handy on those cold nights out sailing from one destination to another. Now it's on my couch! Where it stays...
The next one (below) is one I made for my daughter's hope chest. It was a collaboration of my local quilt guild, called a round robin. I made the center, then each person involved added a border around in complimentary fabrics. I learned so much by doing this quilt! It sure turned out precious ..
Last but certainly not least is a quilt my grandmother hand pieced and quilted. She made this when I was a young girl. It is made from scraps of fabric that used to be my aunt's dresses.
She gifted it to me when I first married. I love it because I remember it laying on my grandparents bed after she first made it, she was just so proud of it. Rightfully so, it is beautiful. She made me promise to use the quilt and not just keep it tucked away .. I use mine and both of my children also have quilts from her that are well loved.
Thanks Grandma - you inspire me to be a better mother, partner, woman and seamstress! I Love You!
