Quilting in the Fog

Finally hung in its place over the fireplace! I love how it looks with the two stained glass mosaics in the window that my son made in high school.

I recently found a pile of small blocks I’d made from scraps a while ago. I’d made a bunch in different colors: green, pink, yellow, etc. I’d forgotten about this set of blue ones and put them up on the design wall to see they made a nice sized wall quilt. A sign at a protest march that was a blue wave made from blue post it notes gave me the idea for how to quilt this. I’m hand quilting white and blue echo lines to make a waves all over it. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic for November 2020 given the election results in Virginia last night.

Julian’s T-shirt Memory Quilt

This quilt has been a long awaited labor of love. I’m finally  making this memory quilt for my son from his collection of T-shirts that I’ve held onto for years – from preschool through high school. It’s a trip down memory lane for me – I clearly remember him wearing each one at every stage, and every interest and passion. I’ll have it done for his 22nd birthday next month. I’m very happy with how this is turning out! And still sticking with my resolution -going on two years now – to make quilts from what I have and from recycled materials, clothing and fabric.
