Another family quilt

This pretty sailboat quilt is one of two that were made for my sons when they were little boys. Their great-aunt Carrie made the quilts, in the 1960s.

Two More MER Quilts

I found these two in the back of the guest room closet.

Hands All Around
Flower Garden

Both were made by my mother, probably in the 1970s or '80s.

It's Coming Along!


I'm still working on the Camilla quilt. It started out to be just pink and black, but I couldn't resist making rosettes in all those pretty colors. Haven't sewn any of them together yet, because I haven't decided whether there will be some kind of pattern, or if they'll just be randomly joined.

I listed this little quilt top on eBay. I've made several tops and don't have time to quilt them all. At left is a detail of this one. The size is 48 x 60 inches, made up of 1-1/2" squares hand-stitched together. I like it so much, I'm beginning to hope it doesn't sell!

Jan. 21, 2010 - The Sunshine and Shadow quilt top was sold on eBay for twice the price I listed!

I sent the Una quilt top (see below) to Donna's In the Attic to be machine-quilted. My sister Susan is giving me the quilting for a birthday present--i.e., she's paying Donna for the quilting.
