| Joshua's kaleidescope quilt! |
There was only enough fabric to complete 12 blocks and then it was just a matter of cutting and piecing what was left until it was almost totally gone.

This quilt was sent with a scholastic book about the old lady who swallowed a fly (and several other unusual things).
I LOVE THIS STORY!!! |
Julie Gabrielle's bright quilt.

The I Spy Quilt |
This quilt was started several years ago. I finally finished it in 2011. The child it was made for is now close to 13 years old. Somehow he grew up before I could get it finished. How do my days fly by so quickly? I really thought I would have more time when I got "older". I'm actually semi-retired now. I used to custom bale hay 6 months out of the year and custom quilting was my other job. Now I have sold my tractor. No more hay bales. I replaced my old longarm and my tractor with a new Millennium. Now I have more time for quilting... or do I?.
It is hard to justify starting a new project with so many UFO's. But I somehow manage to convince myself that it is ok. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I find it more fun. Maybe I will finish another quilt after Bonnie's Easy Street Mystery is complete. Notice I said
complete rather than
finished.

What lucky Grandkids you have.
ReplyDeleteI hope they think so. It is so hard to know what a kid will like in this day and age. But whether they like it or not, quilts are what I do and so that is sometimes what they get. I know I would have loved to get a quilt from my Grandma!!!
