and the chase is on

3 days left and trying to finish this one.

 

 

I will give all the detail when I finish this one, but for now just some peeks.

I made this quilt for my aunt whose husband passed away.

I am trying to get it finished for two reasons,

 first to give it to her for Christmas.

Second because I have another quilt that has to be finished by

mid January.

 

Detail work almost finished, then background fill.

 

With work, shopping and helping my older son with

wallpapering and painting a new shop and just life in general

working every minute I can to finish.

Sometimes that means 5 minutes at a time.

 

Will let you know who it goes.

 



One down, one to go

I have a finish!!!

Well, except trimming

and binding, but I'm calling it a finish.

 

 

I hope you like pictures,

 

 

because I have lots of them to show.

 

Will have to get a better picture of his name.

A little background...

The stars are made from the shirts of

my boss who passed away last year.

I am making memory quilts for

his wife (Dresden Plate showed in previous post)

and three children.

This quilt pattern is Rockstar from Primitive Gatherings.

I left off one of the stars in the border, that way each member of the family had a star and I had a place to

quilt his name.

 

 

I quilted his wife's, children and grandchildren's name

around the quilt.

 

 

SoFine thread, 405 I think.

2 layers batting, wool on top and cotton on the bottom.

 

Looks good on Stevie's bed.

I am so happy with the way it finished.

 

 

 

Too big to show the whole quilt at time.

 

 

 

A heart in three of the corners for each of his children.

 

 

and the back

 

Still have threads to trim also.

I have another quilt I'm going to try and finish before Christmas.

Will have to see how that goes.

 It's also a memory quilt

for a family member who has received some bad

news and I think it would make her feel better

to have her husband memory quilt to comfort her.
