I am not a quilter nor do I sew anything. I do own 3 sewing machines. I have my grandmothers old foot pedal machine my Mother learned to sew on. I have my hubsand's great- grandmothers and one my hubsand bought years ago thinking I would follow in my Mother's footsteps. When my hubsand has things that need mending it calls my Mother. I saw this pattern in magzine and wanted to attempt to make it. I had a huge problem I want to surprise my Mother with it as a Christmas present. I could not enlist her help and had to learn how to do flying geese on my own. The hardest part was trying to bind it. I thought I would share a picture of the wall hanging quilt that I gave her on Christmas. She was very surprised to say the least, since I never ever liked or took a intrest in sewing. This quilt has my Mother's childhood pictures that I scanned onto blocks. I do have a quilt that I have been hand quilting. The quilt top was made by grandmother and mother finished one block of the quilt. I have decided to hand quilt it so I can say three generations worked on the quilt. That project has been on the back burner for about 4-5 years now maybe this year I will get back to hand quilting it. Hand quilted quilts are priceless. She gave me the "Gone With The Wind Quilt" and I gave her this quilt for Christmas 2012. |
