Black, White and Red All Around

I have been sewing binding down and taking pictures for a couple days now. The picture today is the Black, White and Red All Around quilt. The backing is bright red!

This pattern looked like fun, so I made it.

My Father's Marriage Quilt

This is the only quilt top I have made by my grandmother. It was my father's marriage quilt. My grandmother made it sometime between 1926, when my father was born, and 1947, when my parents were married.

My grandmother gave my mother the quilt top in the mid seventies.

I received the quilt top in 2002 when my mother passed away. I quilted the top to honor both my mother and grandmother. Both are missed.

The top is made from very small pieces of fabric and is hand pieced.

Carolina Chain

I told you on June 19th the picutres of the Carolina Chain would be posted when it was finished. Well, it's done! Here are the picutres.

Now, I'm sewing on the binding to a Christmas Jars quilt and the Twelve Moons quilt is ready to be quilted.

The pictures of my grandmother's quilt, the only one I have will be posted soon. Photporaphy is not one of my talents!
