MyRoom

It was already November & I was holding my head trying to think of meaningful Christmas gifts for my elderly father, my brother & my two son-in-laws. It had been an awful year; my Mom had passed, my sister-in-law had passed & each of my son-in-laws had lost a parent. I NEEDED to give them each something personal that would show how much I cared. I wasn’t sure that I could get my act together quickly enough to complete 4 quilts, but decided that I would choose a simple pattern with minimum colors, although I did want each quilt to have a different color scheme. Worse case scenario? I would give them a quilt that had been begun, but not completed. Fast forward...the quilts were completed by Christmas morning. Once one of them had been completed, the others followed pretty quickly. I know I had angels on my shoulders those few weeks while sewing. This quilt was given to my son-in-law.

A friend asked me to make a quilt for her to give her sister as a wedding quilt. She choose the Carpenter Star and choose the colors to represent the bridesmaids dresses and the colors of the bride's home. (Navy, maroon and gray....the colors are slightly off in the pictures.) I quilted it on myself on my Tiara and love how it came out.
