Picturing Quilts Before Shipping

Pin It

Our Son's and Daughter-n-Law's received quilt gifts this year.

They were in NEED, I worked for months on them and had shown just bits and pieces as I made them. 

But, they have been opened and now it's my turn to share them. I take LOTS of pictures before a quilt leaves the house, I'm always in need to quilt pictures.

All are machine pieced and hand tied, with 2 layers of quilt batting in each and full size.
