*quilts galore!

This past weekend I moved the kitchen island out of the kitchen so I could set in "A" quilt.  I did not move the island back right away and later decided since it was already moved and while the tile floor  was clean that I should set in a few more. So I did.

I started quilting this one.  While visiting one of my sweet friends several years ago, I offered to take this quilt home with me to finish for her. I have had it for, oh shoot, I lost count on how many years.  It has been longer than I would like to admit. I got a precious email from her daughter just the other day asking about this quilt.   It is the little push I needed. You know there is just something about quilting on someones pieced work.  I can hardly wait to get it finished and in the mail, it is coming along nicely and I am no longer scared to sew on it.  Jen took a few quilting classes and has made two quilts, one of which is in a hoop at home with her in Alabama. She decided she loves quilts, and although she likes quilting it is not a love for her. I know she will be delighted to get this back in her home so I am working towards this end!

What are you working on right now?

  3. Jen. I am crying just thinking about your T going to college! I know she is a blessing to you and S. When I got the message from her I thought maybe she was thinking of having momma's quilt to take with her off to college! I love you too!
