Pinning A Quilt


Emily loves to help me. I was pinning a quilt and she asked if she could help.


Well, a Nana never says no. So here she is with her grapefruit spoon "closing up" her pins.


Just in case you think she didn't use enough pins...

Tuffets


I had a pile of scraps from a friend so I decided to use them up!




Tuffets from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Now I need to back them, stuff them and embellish them!

More Plaids!




My daughter and I decided to make a quilt for a friend who has done us a really huge favor. Our Master bathroom shower developed a bad case of mold behind the tiles. He ripped it all out and put it back together again. I thought this jelly roll pattern, Pandora's Box would be perfect done with homespun plaids.


And so, I commenced cutting. 40-2 1/2" WOF strips. 


Quilt w/o 6" border.



I crammed all my plaids into one drawer! Looks like I have many more plaid quilts in my future.

Teri's Quilt



My friend Teri passed away before she could finish this quilt. She was making this for a very dear friend. My friend Ty and I have put the top together and then Ty will quilt it on her longarm. I know her friend will treasure this quilt.

 


And, there are those Tootie Girls! Looking a little worse for the wear after a day of playing!

Recently my father was very ill. I made the first quilt for him to use. The second quilt was made to celebrate his patriotism.
