I have had these wonderful quilts for a long time, but for some reason find it very difficult to put them on a bed. Maybe it's because the person they belong to hasn't appeared in my head yet! Or maybe it's because I've been afraid I'd mess them up.
I think one of these belongs to Cousin Sophie. One of these days I am going to get her attic finished. It does seem a shame not to have these out where I can enjoy seeing them. (Maybe I better check with Hiram Rabbit to see if he wants a full bed in the McKinley again.)
I made one complete pieced quilt for my mother, but that was enough for me. I also tried my hand at making yo-yo's once and decided to leave the work to experts, too.
Unfortunately, when we had computer problems I lost the names of the people who made both these quilts. If you are the maker of either, would you let me know, please?
My mother enjoyed quilting
before her health prevented it and I started this quilt
for her display lamp (See Display Lamps). It was intended
to be in progress on a full-size quilt stand but the stand
was too large to fit in the lamp. So, I finished the quilt,
but didn't know what the heck I was doing and it came out
stiff as a board. I had to do a lot of manipulating to
make it "hang" on
this stand.
This is the only quilt I ever finished and will probably be the last one. It was WORK.
