This fall mantle runner top was made for me by my secret sister Sandy Yaggi last year. I quilted it while on my statcation this summer. I quilted maple leaves in the white areas. It looks great hanging on my mantle.
Pinky Do Dah is a very old UFO. It is actually the 2nd quilt I ever pieced. It was pieced in 1993 and I quilted it this summer. So never say never. I think that she turned out beautiful.
For My Love- was made from a collection of charm squares. For years I had participated in charm square exchange at our guild. I decided to do something with the valentines/heart squares. The vase in the middle has a piece of tatting from Charleston SC of a horse drawn carriage. This quilt is always drapped over a white chair in my dinning room every February.
The Fall quilt below is from a round robin type exchange in my guild. I made the log cabin blocks at the top and the FALL words. I also pieced 2 other blocks in the top. I love this top also, it is now drapped over the white chair in my dinning room for fall. It looks great in the same room with the mantle runner.
Scrappy Stars was started in a class in 1995. I pieced the stars in 1995 and finished the quilt this summer. I think it turned out great.
The last entry I had in the show was the Alzheimer's Donation quilt that I made for their auction. It will be auctioned off in the spring to raise funds for Alzheimer's research. It is dedicated to Roger's Uncle Morgan Chandler who died of Alzheimer's disease. It's name is Escaping Memories. The pinwheel blocks are slowly escaping.
And now I have to brag a little. My Grand daughter entered her 2nd quilt in the show. It is a 4-patch swirl. She pieced and quilted the entire quilt. She won a Blue Ribbon for her quilt. I'm such a proud grandma.
Happy Quilting,Shelia
