Oldest & Newest!

 


This is the first quilt I ever made! The year was 1975 and my sister Cheryl was pregnant with this young man! Stitched and quilted all by hand, I really had no idea what I was doing!


I call this quilt "Michigan Garden Club". The blocks all finish 4" and it was a lot of fun to follow the pattern using some red, white and blue fabrics I'd had for a while.

This quilt took 2nd place in category at the Shadow Mountain Quilters 2024 show, and best use of theme. The theme was "Quilting Over the Ages". The judge commented it was best use of traditional blocks with contemporary fabrics.
