This morning I thought I would show you a few Quilts that I pieced and Quilted for a lady before Christmas.
Her husband had passed away and she asked me to make 3 of these Cross Memory Quilts from his shirts for her and their 2 sons for Christmas.
Here is a pic of the 2nd one. Somehow I didn't get a pic of the 3rd one but it looks just like these two.
Here is a photo of the back of them. All 3 of them were quilted with this same design. The panto is called, Spindle. I love the texture that it gives. I'll be honest when I quilted the first one I thought I might have been a mistake because all that I saw was spiderwebs. LOL! When she picked up the first quilt and unfolded it, she said, "oh it looks like Angel wings" Now I still don't see Angel wings but that is what she saw....so I quilted the other 2 the same way. :)
She also requested that I make 9 of these memory pillows for their grandchildren. She had picked out 9 shirts and attached a photo of him with each grandchild to each shirt. So I had to make sure that I kept these with each shirt so that I didn't get them mixed up. She said that she wanted me to see who I was making these for. So precious.
She was so very pleased with them all. This was very emotional for them all. I graduated with her oldest son so I did know of this family. In the end, she and I have become really good friends. Just a few days ago she sent me another message talking about how pleased she was with them all. That makes it all worth it for me when I see the emotions and somehow I think these quilts and pillow give them a little more comfort.
I didn't really have a photo to post this morning so I thought I would post these quilts. I didn't really have time to before Christmas.
I did get that HUGE t-shirt quilt quilted yesterday. I kept putting it off because I dreaded it so bad. I bit the bullet and got it finished!!!! I feels great to have that behind me now. I'll take some photos of it once I take it off the longarm. I finished it up yesterday evening and I still have it on the longarm.
No school for Hunter again today. Some of the backroads still have snow/ice on them. We are also supposed to get more snow today so he probably will not have school the rest of the week. It is a Google Classroom day so he will have assignments online.
It is supposed to get down near zero and windchills around -10 so I really dread that. :(
