I’ll skip over the drama of basting a quilt that’s something like 105×105. The top is pieced and sewn together and now it’s quilt, quilt, and quilt some more in time to get it under the Christmas tree! She knows I’m working on it but has no idea I’m hoping to get it done this…

Christmas table runner minus the binding
I glue basted the binding on right after I took this but realized too late that I never took a photo of the finished product but you get the idea..
Take 2 on the purple quilt
We’re both in agreement now on the right fabric for the quilt. I’m testing out another block to see if the daughter like it and if so, we’ll move on to actually making a quilt!
Mom’s quilt is completed
Whew. Just in time for Christmas, considering I need to get it in the mail. I tried out pretty much every quilting pattern I knew at some point. There are circles and stars, bishop fans and arcs. Circles, swirls, and squares. There’s something different in each one. It helps a lot that I have a…
quilt in EQ7

Quilt for Mom
It’s coming along….not done yet. There’s actually a fair amount of work in these to make sure that first of all there’s a lot of different colors in it, and that a color isn’t repeated too close together or too frequently. Fortunately mom’s are very forgiving in case it’s not quite right!

colorful quilt for Mom
Mom has Alzheimer’s and is in a memory care facility, so I thought a colorful quilt would be the best option for her. I thought it would hopefully be easily recognizable in case it goes wandering…as items are wont to do through the nature of the patients. It happens. I like to lay these out…
