My Ladies - See Story

I had been making quilted pillows before 

we moved to Burlington, IA and I went to a few quilt classes, auctions and was learning about quilting at every turn.

On a visit down to see us, my mother arrived with this quilt for me. As a child I'd never seen it, never heard anything about it.

My Great-great grandmother had made it for my mother. Mom remembers helping with cutting of the fabric and helped pump the sewing machine. 

Mind Blowing to me still 

It's machine pieced and hand quilted. 

The off blocks are done in a spider web quilt design.

The blocks are outline quilted

The edge and it's tiny stitches. 

This quilt is ALWAYS used by "ME" 

and I say that with LOVE,

"It's MY Quilt !" with love

Pink Fabric Pillows

I love PINK, there is nothing better to me than PINK Fabric.

Pink fabric used.

I'm using a log cabin pattern, these are cut 2" x 2"

Sewn together and pressed to the outside. I cut some strips for the outside edges 2 " wide and add them, 
I didn't measure each one.

I've added a great border and this will be the backing too !
