and other
FAMILY TREASURES
Hello!
First, I want you to meet my
family---,
There's Ed, my
husband for
62 years, and
our two sons,
Edward 3rd,
and Jesse,
our two lovely
daughters-in-law,
Susan and
Laurie,
and our seven
grandchildren.-----and 11 great grandchildren
Now, I want to show you a few
of the quilts I've made
over the last seven or eight years.
This is a "whole cloth" quilted bedspread I made for Susan. She chose
the color. It was made using a stenciled muslin, queen size, quilting the
design, then the blue stencil lines washed out in a cold water rinse.
About 4 months to quilt.
This pattern
is Colorado Cabin Star. I planned it with Christmas colors, the stars are gold
satin first fused with light pellon as stabilizer. It is about 45 x 45.
This pattern is Dresden
Plate. Eleanor Jones of Louisiana pieced the "plates" and sent them
to me to applique on a white on white background. She chose a bright blue for
the bands and borders.
I constructed the quilt, did the hand quilting and
binding, and mailed it back to her.
