A Quilt for my Mom

A Quilt for My Mom

Disapearing 4 Patch

I went to a Quilt Retreat not long after I moved to Nauvoo

I started this quilt then.  Mmmm...5 years ago.

Sad but True.

I finally got it finished with the help of Pam....again.

I am so thankful for her help, or my UFO's

would be RUFO's --Really Un-Finished Objects!

I liked learning this quilt block.

The Quilt fabrics are all MODA and they are geogeous!

I Love, Love, Love, this Quilt.

Roses and Strawberry Prints among others made

this a happy quilt.  I think it turned out quite cozy.
It was created with much love over these
last few years.

Pam finished two sides of the Piano Key border

and the outer border for me, and then

she hand quilted it.

It turned out fabulous!!!

I called my Mom on Mothers Day, and she opened

up the box contiaining the quilt.

My Mom said she Loved It, and would enjoy it.

I am Happy Happy Happy.

LOVE YOU MOM!
Happy Mothers Day!



Can you see the top of Joseph's cute head?
His arms are not quite long enough to reach the edges.





Quilt Backing that is the same as one of the front blocks





Piano Key Border--Lot's of Work, but oh so cute



Quilt for Robert's Mom

Rose Birthday Quilt

This was a quilt I made for Robert's Mom

for her Birthday this year.

My friend Pam helped me with the edging

and we had fun tieing the quilt together.

Robert's Mom said she liked it and has it on her bed.

Rob's Mom's Maiden name is Rose, so I

thought this would honor her heritage.

I loved the fabrics and figuring

out how to arrange it all.  I got the

fabrics from our local quilt shop here in

Nauvoo, Sew Inspirational.

I love Robert's Mom very much, and I am so

greatful for her example and love.

Happy Birthday Grandma Barlow!

Not the best photo, but I wanted to hurry up and get it mailed

A quilt for my Sister Anna

Purple Circles gone Crazy

My Sister Anna and I picked out fabrics

a long time ago.

I wanted to make her a quilt

to let her know I loved her.

It took forever to get time to do it well.

I found a great Circular Quilt Pattern

when I attended a local quilt retreat
and decided when it was the right time to

make the quilt that this was the pattern

I wanted to do, as it was fun like my sister.

I sent her a photo of the pattern and she
said it was cool, so thus began a lot
of curved piece work.

I bought some additional fabrics to match
the ones we had gotten, and I cut
out all the pieces.

My friend Pam sewed them together, since I am

not at that level of piecing yet, and I
wanted the quilt to get to my sister
so I figured working on it in part
was better than her not ever getting the quilt.

After I  arranged it in a pattern I liked, and
Pam finished the top, Pam and I tied
the quilt together, and finally

it is done!  Hooray...A quilt for my Sis.

My wonderful Neighbor said it was a bit much,

but I love the funkiness of it, and how can you

go wrong with Purple Circles???

Love You Anna-- Wear the Quilt Out!
