Amazing what one finds in a box stuffed in a closet. A folder with photos of a quilt in progress, taken by my mom. This is the first bed-sized quilt I ever made, which was a 40th birthday present for my sister, Kathy, in 2002, and is queen sized.
This is from Eleanor Burns' Double Pinwheel pattern book. My assistant there, DD Erica, will just be thrilled with this photo of her at age 12. She helped me feed the beast while I quilted straight lines with the walking foot. I think is the last quilt using only three colors in my quilting history! You can see that I had the binding attached but only stitched down to the back partway. This is a quilt I've gotten to visit a couple of times, and even slept under, as it lives in St. Louis. I made matching pillowcases out of leftover fabric some time after the quilt, and there are still scraps of that purple print that recently showed up in the HST pinwheels I've been sewing as leader-enders! Ah, memories...
