"Home" wall hanging Gifts

These are all variations of the Missouri Star Quilt Company's row by row from a couple of years ago. I made them this year for friends, two who were moving back to places they used to live and one for a 50th wedding anniversary gift. I must not have taken a picture of the one I made for a wedding gift.

Quilting for Others

Every year, our Cerro Gordo Church of the Brethren Women's Fellowship has a service project. This year we made fidget blankets for dementia patients. We gave them to a local nursing home.

This is a wall hanging I made for a friend. These blocks were made by her grandmother years ago.

My sister, Shirley, will be 86 this month. This is a quilt she made for her great granddaughter.

My daughter is a librarian for FirstLine Schools in New Orleans. Each year they have a fundraiser for their Edible Garden program. This was my donation for their silent auction.

Christmas 2018

Even with a wedding and a wedding quilt to make, I found time to make a few Christmas items.

I loved these pinwheel ornaments.

Christmas Quilt and Wedding

On January 5, our daughter, Anna, got married. I made this quilt (hand quilted) for their wedding.

Thankful

I haven't posted in some time, but my hope is to get back into posting the things I make.  Today, however, I would like to share a picture of my family.  We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary in November with all of our children, gathering in southern Illinois.  We had a great week with our 3 children and their families.  I am so thankful that they took the time to gather with us to celebrate.

Time to Catch Up!
