In Memory Of

In memory of my dear friend, Jill Reid. 

Some of these blocks were found in her sewing room and they were passed  to me. You can read about it HERE.

The fan quilting was very appropriate for "Jills" quilt

I completely ran out of the fabric she was using and her best friend sent me the corner lighter blue. I wrote about it on my blog HERE. I look at it like Jill's rogue block.

My sister was here this weekend and one of her good friends passed away a few years ago and they gave her the start of this quilt. She brought it to me and I added the patches for the tree and ground.

Her job was to embroider around some of the patches. She said she was DONE and brought it over to figure out the next step.

I trimmed it and we figured out backing and binding. Her plan is to bring it to her local quilt store (in Nampa, ID) and talk with them about quilting it.  She would like to give it back to her friends daughter before the year end.

I thought it was appropriate to show both of these quilts today. I know they will be treasured (I certainly will treasure Jill's) and very special. 

My Valentine evening was spent in the ER!  I've got meds and am on the mend! 

Have a wonderful Monday!
