One of the projects I worked on that I couldn't show, was quilt blocks.
They were made as part of a quilt, we made for a fellow quilter who is going through some tough times.
I made two blocks for the quilt and we all sent them to another girl who pieced the quilt and then it went onto another, who did the quilting and binding. They did a beautiful job on putting it all together and today it arrived to it's destination. If you would like to see the whole quilt, you can visit Nancy's Blog to see all the other wonderful blocks in the quilt.
The theme of the quilt was nature and wildlife, so each block in the quilt depicts various pictures of things Nancy and Jim love.
This block I made from a photo she had. She lives outside of Yellowstone park and has frequent visitors. The photo was of her cat and a deer, kissing. I just had to make it into a block. I added the rainbow from something I read about her loving the rainbow poem.
The second block was from my memory of a picture I had seen of her husband Jim, who was standing in the yard watching something and the kitty was sitting beside him. He also loves the outdoors and outdoor activity and even though he cannot do these things now, I had him hiking with the kitty.
wow, those are lovely. and what a nice project. I love the one with the critters on it!

Beautiful blocks and such a story. I know they will treasure it forever.
ReplyDeletecomfort quilts are so very special and I am sure it will be much appreciated. The love and friendship that goes into them is unrivalled.
ReplyDeleteLove the comfort quilt Debbie... just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRegarding recipes... looking for anything new (new to us anyway). We're becoming creative with recipes too, especially baking (desserts), but we're just getting tired of the same old things.
Jordan (13 yr old granddaughter) has the Soy allergy and that eliminates so many things from our diets. Any recipes you find good that don't have soy or beans or peanuts would be lovely. Thanks for your message dear. Have a wonderful day.
