This is a blog about the quilting projects I am working on. Some of them are actually finished! Striving to use up the stash so my sons won't have to give all that fabric away that I acquired with good intentions. Nancy

Quilt for Linda
I made this quilt out of my brother's shirts for his girlfriend Linda. My brother died unexpectedly in January 2014. She was devastated as we all were. His name was on his work shirts and I have one little square that I cut out and put on it with his name. The quilt turned out so much better than I anticipated. I just have to get it quilted. I ordered a special backing for it. I can't wait to send it to her.
Vivian's pillows
My friend Vivian retired from the hospital so I made her 2 pillows. She loved them. She was such a nice person. She was always so pleasant. Loved her.
This was literally the first time I ever made button holes. They turned out great. I was so impressed with myself. So pretty.
I used K-mart pillows to stuff them. It is a super cheap way to go. I did simple machine quilting on both of them.
The 1990's called and want their quilt finished!
Check this out! I started this probably in 1988. I got it out and worked on it twice since then. I have to finish the log cabin blocks.
Look at these calico fabrics. I could gag. So not my style right now. I lost the directions to this long, long ago.
That is why it never got finished. I googled it and found the quilt but not the directions. I'm going to wing it to finish it.
