Quilting memories....


I love when a quilt is more than a quilt.

This one is a collection of memories....all of which are very special.

When my dear friend Marty passed away, her husband gave me this quilt pattern.

Marty had just bought it, and in true Marty fashion, she had pencilled in lots of notes.

I made this quilt in honor of Marty.


The fabrics were a collection I bought on a trip to San Luis Obispo.
Lots of memories of a fun place we like to visit often.

The cute bitty floral between the bright green was one
I used to make a dress for Clare.
Another wonderful memory sewn into my quilt.




...even the back is special,
because I used polka dots that remind me of my dear friend Cheryl.

AKA "Miss Polka Dot".

Another quilt for my collection, but this one seems Sew special in many ways.
