Quilt Shot 149~ Donna's Great Grand Baby Quilt

 

My very good friend Donna,
is getting back into making quilts.
She first made one for her Grand Daughter's wedding.
Now that Grand Daughter is having her first baby.


Donna once again,
considers herself as a beginner.
By the looks of this quilt,
to refer to an old saying, 
I think she will ride that bike soon.
She spent hours designing and shopping for this quilt top
which she cut and sewed.


Then she asked me to free hand cut the letters,
and machine applique them
using the fabric of her choice.
She then asked another friend of ours
to do the quilting and the binding.
 

 Her dream came together perfectly.
I love the border choices.
My eye is first tricked into thinking there is a
lace border
until I look more closely.

She says the next quilt she makes will be with squares.
I think that's a great way to get started back into quilting.

Thoughful Thurs 189~ Thinking of You

 

Last week I got a special thoughful card
from my best friend in high school and college roommate.
Matter of fact, 
the flower on the card reminds me of our dorm deco.

It also mentioned she hoped I would be at our upcoming HS class reunion.
Our BIG one that was put off for 2 years.

I missed an impromtu just girls gathering back in July
 because I had already committed to attend a wedding.
Unfortunately, I'd missed the last class reunion too due to a Florida family wedding.
 
We went ahead and scheduled one for Oct trying to hit a common date for all.
I didn't have anything scheduled for the date chosen.
Since then, would you believe
2 major events have come up for that date!
but never mind,
Lord willing,
I'm going to that class reunion!
 
So nice to have all those old thoughts floating around in our heads.
