#1 for 2009



"Mom's Traditions"..........finished it yesterday.....had set a goal to finish it by noon..but, due to the City Boy deciding that the plug, in the drain, in the laundry room needed to be removed......Oh, Lord....give me patience and tolerance.....didn't finish until about 1:30....Still had time to make some cuts for the next project....yeah!!!!

The back is brown with tiny blue and gold flowers on a vine pattern....the lattice work is light brown with dark brown flowers.......

The front is a collection of Thimbleberry fabrics in star patterns from a BOM club years and years and years ago in another lifetime....i used Moda fabrics for the borders and lattice work....seems to work well together

Counted my UFO's ...only have 6!!! Didn't want to work on any of those so i started a Turn Twenty with stuff from my stash.....

The sun is shining ....... temps in the 40's ........it's "Football Night In America"to quote Al Roker....and life is good!

  6. How nice that quilt looks spread out in the sunshine there ! The first of how many for this year???
    I read a series of books on quilters...all telling stories of what the different squares represent. It is facinating. So much history and love goes into to makeing one. You are very gifted with your craft of quilting.
