The First Quilt

...Grandma is doing better, though still not out of the woods. She LOVED the pillow, and we got to talk about it, about quilting and things, and it was wonderful to just spend that time with her.

My mom brought a special treat for me; the wall hanging quilt that I made for her in 2004. I hadn't even recalled what it looked like! I hand quilted it, too, all hand-appliqued including sewing the binding. It was incredible to look at those stitches and remember those patterns I picked out for it. I used parts of other patterns that I liked, too, ever the free-formist.



Thank you, mom, for bringing it! Love you!
