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

It is so cute!

Quilt for Howard Barlow

I wanted to make a gift for my Father-in-law,
and decided on tying a comfy lap quilt to keep
him warm. It is made of Moda Flannels are made
to look like old wool suits. The designs were neat!
for a look that was masculine, but comfortable.
My friend Pam was instrumental in helping me
get this quilt togther, since our family
was leaving to Utah within the week.
She is a good friend, and an awesome quilter.

Quilt for Grandma

I made this quilt with help from my Mom and sister for my Grandma Sittre'.
It is the hand or foot prints of her Great Grandchildren, and a space for those I couldn't get in time. I hope she liked it. It turned out so colorful and fun. It was given to her at her Birthday Party this year.
