Quilt Festival

Favorite quilt so far.

"Pink and Black Dresses"

This was a block of the month embroidery from Bobbysocks Quilt Co. a few years ago. I loved the dress design and I love the color pink. It took me two years to finish the embroidery and then another year to decide on how to set it. A friend Gail did the quilting and the quilting is fabulous. I have four daughters and two daughter-in -laws and they all say this is quilt they want when I die. Well I'm not going anywhere except to the fabric store for more fabric.

What ever Happened to matching "Easter Dresses"

Since I don't make Easter Dresses anymore I still think about the days I did.
Back in the day, everyone had to match. Even if you weren't happy about it, the boys.

This is my first Easter I could sew for Brent and Kim, yes I made Brent's outfit.

I loved those dresses.

Yes Pink again!

We moved on to everyone with the same color. Blue and White

Great Hexagon Quilt

O. K. here's one for you.

I have been interested in making a quilt made of Hexagons. The "Grandmothers Flower Garden" is the one I am thinking of. My sister and I even bought a hexagon stamp for quilting at the January Tucson Quilt show.

I have been trying to get some other projects finished so I can start it and "Low and Behold". A Niece that lives in California(daughter of said sister) goes to a neighborhood yard sale and is looking around and spots something that looks like fabric. It is Fabulous quilt top.

Hand pieced if you can believe.

She goes over to enquire the price and can you believe it's

$2.00
