Quilt Stories

When I went to the local quilt show -- I was so struck by how unique every single quilt was. How women used their sewing skills to "tell a story". One of my favorites was the quilt a Grandma made for her grandson -- who had always loved his boxer shorts. Do you see the story? That Grandma's love and sense of humor...every block is made out of outgrown boxers...with a few carefully placed t-shirts...

There were some great t-shirt quilts -- sometimes, combining the technology of printing photos on fabric -- very special...

One woman made a memory quilt, using her father's ties...

What a beautiful quilt -- to help keep her father close...

WHAT A GREAT DAY. We had a wonderful time! Inspirational quilts, lunch at Riefe's, shopping at Ritzi Reruns...

My two Lindas...and Sandy....my little book club. You know what a big fan I am of spending time with women friends. It's the only way you can keep your head on straight!!
