My Special Memories Quilt






 I made myself a lap quilt that holds special memories. The fabrics are leftover from a quilt made for my sister Kathy. Mom embroidered all the blocks for it and my sister, Faith started making it. 

When Faith's cancer got bad, she asked me if I'd finish it. I gave it to Kathy and husband, Gus at Christmas in 2009, the year before Faith passed away. Faith passed away in 2010, Mom in 2017 and Kathy in 2020. I miss them all but find a little comfort in the fabrics that their hands touched.

The Golfer

 I call this quilt "The Golfer"

A very good friend of ours, Paul, wanted me to make him a quilt a little larger than one he has about worn out. Knowing his love for golfing, this is the one I made for him. With special embroidery showing that it is indeed his quilt!

I think he likes it!!



Paul, takes his naps at home so this must be his golfing buddy napping in the cart. The golf guy is always looking for the lost golf balls.

The gopher looks a bit irritated with the golfers!

The backing for the quilt worked out really well too. Loved making this one!
