How will I work these into future quilts?

A few beauties I picked up at a neighborhood yard sale this weekend. I will try to work them into future quilts!

It's nice to visit an old friend

While in California on vacation in June, I visited with a quilt I finished in 1999 for my mother, Ramona. Here are some digital pictures, compliments of my sweetie George. The pattern is Boston Commons with a Card Trick border and it is an over sized queen.

The quote on the back is Alfred Lord Tennyson: Oh tell her life is short but Love is long.

My mom's last name is Tennison so I thought it worked well.

a long time gone

I have been away for awhile and am finally back posting. Did you miss me?

A few things have happened since my last post. Remember the quilt I made for my friend, Melody in January (Post: My most recent quilt, January 31, 2010)? I am sorry to report that Melody died on June 8, 2010. She is finally at peace and I am so glad I finished her quilt in January so that she could enjoy it for a few months.

Life is eternal and love is immortal and death is only a horizon. Rest in peace, Melody. You will be sorely missed by your family and friends!
