Random thoughts about roadside art, National Parks, historic preservation, philosophy of technology, and whatever else happens to cross my mind.

Quilts: I actually finished another one
I started it in Omaha. The piecing was fast and easy; the hand quilting took what began to feel like forever. It's a queen-size, I finished it around the end of May, and gave it to the older grandson a couple weeks ago.
Those are wonderful presents, they say so much.
ReplyDeleteI still have one my grandmother made and gave me for my 13th birthday, still see her face and feel her hug when I look at it.
I also have an afghan knitted by a favorite aunt. The memories you get when you see them, the feelings that return.
These are treasures beyond price, great gift for you to give.
I love the colors, patterns and simplicity of the layout with the border. I don't have your patience!
ReplyDeleteNice. I sleep under a quilt every night that Laurel Ann made me.
