Arboretum Quilt

Barbara made a quilt to hang in the

new Arboretum in Lebanon, TN.

Now, I don't know a lot, well actually very little,

about Master Gardeners or an

Arboretum.

I do know 2 Master Gardeners,

Barbara and Kaoru. 

 I know they spent a lot of time and effort

on the Arboretum and they are very excited

and proud.

So I was very honored that Barbara asked

me to quilt her large wallhanging.

The pictures are not very good but I still wanted

to share

 

 

The center has Poplar leaves, which

is the Tennessee state tree.

Then the leaves in the 1st border are signed by all of the

Master Gardeners that worked on the

Arboretum.

She wanted me to quilt the name, city, state and

when the Arboretum was built so that future

visitors would know.

 

 

 

 

 

My friend and an unbelievable quilter,

Kaoru, signed her leaf in a special way...

 

 

I don't know what it says but it looks pretty cool.

 

(Sorry for the blurred picture.)

This will hang in the Arboretum

for all the visitors to see.

Measures 55x55.

I used 2 layers of 80/20 batting.

Glide and SoFine thread.

It may look a little yellow in the pictures,

but it is green.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 



Cheryl's wall hanging

I quilted a wall hanging for Cheryl

over the weekend.

 

The pattern is by Edyta Sitar

but Cheryl said she only made the

top part of the pattern.

 Sorry I don't know the name
but it is in
(after I asked my quilting guru, Marita)
 Edyta's Scrappy Fireworks book.
 



I really like this and I now want to make one.

 

 

I have the perfect place to hang it.

 

 

Cheryl is gifting this one and plans to make another also.

 

I used a layer of 80/20 and a layer of Tuscany wool,

SoFine and Glide thread.
All quilting is freehand.

I had fun quilting this one and
can't wait to get started on mine,
like I needed something added to my list.

Have a good rest of the week
and thanks for stopping by.

 



Another Baby Quilt

I finished another baby quilt,

same customer as the last one.

 

 

I forgot to take a before picture

 

 

 

Cute little alphabet quilt,

 

 

for a cute little baby that will be here any day.
