Great Aunt Hilda's quilt!
Here's it is, at last! These photos were taken before I had finished the quilting and binding, but it's all done now. 90 blocks for her 90th birthday. I'll put up a photo of the whole thing when I get a moment.
My biggest challenge is getting GAH's grand nephew and niece (my husband and sister-in-law) to stitch their names on the label that I'm putting on the back. I'm going to start to nag - I can feel it coming on...
Two down, three to go...
Finally finished a cot quilt yesterday for the baby of some great friends from the Old Days. Hooray for little Rosie Brookes, who arrived, perfect in every way, within two hours. From first uh-oh to final ta-da in an hour and a half! What a star!
The quilt took a lot longer.
Having read all the books that say you must label your quilt for posterity I dutifully wrote a little note on the back of it then nearly set fire to the whole thing when setting the permanent marker with a hot iron. I hope the scorching will add to a subtle patina...
Anyway, here it is. I'm not showing you the burnt bit.
This means that of the five projects I had on the go at Christmas, I'm now down to three. Better start another one, I think.
Hi: Jane
PaulaLove your horses, not a Super Model by far; only picture I had of myself saved. Thank You; for liking Kayecee's coat, she will be happy that another person, enjoys her mama's hard work lol. I wish I was still working but had to basically quit against my will because of life threatening Lung Disease called Primary Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. No cure, just Medication that prolongs my life; hooked up to a pump that has medicine flowing thru it 24/7; about the size of a box of personal checks. Enough about me. Thank You, once again for liking Kayecee's coat. I make all types of items.
I also loved your Quilts, I personally have never tried to do quiting.
Thank You & God Bless Shortnsassylady
