SLMQG Pillow Swap

A few months ago we had a 20" pillow swap.

I received this BEAUTY from the UBER talented Marci.

I am SO in love with this sweet pillow!

Here it is :)

The Giant Vintage Star I made for the American Fork Presbyterian Church fundraiser :)

Quilt Tops for Charity

Remember the sew-a-thon for the Presbyterian Church in American Fork... the one that the film Footloose was filmed in?

Well, I sewed three quilt tops for it :)  One giant vintage star and two baby quilts.

(I am sad I don't have a picture of the giant vintage star top :()

Janene's Star Pillow

There were a very few scraps left over from the special quilt I made for my friend Janene a few weeks ago.  Blogged HERE.

Because the whole project was so special, I couldn't just throw them away.

 I decided to make Janene a special pillow using the scraps.

I made a concealed zippered back.

I hope she likes it :)

Quilting CHECK!

Micro stipple on the white with double batting to make sthe star pop :)

Janene's star is finished :) Now for some borders! ...and some quilting :)

Homecoming

My sweet Katie-Bug went to Homecoming last night :)

Waiting...

Always get a shot of the car they are in... so you can show the police if they don't get home on time :)

Kate is nearly 6' tall... the other couple is REALLY tall!

A VERY Special Baby Blanket

Twenty four years ago Janene's (a dear family friend) sister Karen was killed in a car accident.  She had all of her children with her, the youngest was 9 months old.  All of her children survived, although one was very seriously injured.

I was in college at the time in Utah.  The seriously injured child was flown to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City and treated there for many months.  The rest of her family was sent back home to California to recover.  Because she was here, I spent time with her so she wouldn't be alone.

Before Karen died, she had been working on quilts for her two youngest children.

She cross stitched beautiful blocks and finished one of the quilts. ...this red one.

After Karen's death, Janene took the finished quilt and the parts of the unfinished one and kept them to finish at some point.

This past summer, Janene brought me the finished quilt and the unfinished quilt and asked me to finish it for Karen's youngest two children, who now have children of their own.

She requested that I finish the second quilt just like the one Karen had finished.

Her cross stitching is BEAUTIFUL and perfect!

Karen had already drawn out a layout for the blocks.

I added the green back ground.

Karen had already bought the fabric, ribbon and lace.

It was like stepping back in time to work on this quilt.

She had purchased satin ribbon to tie the quilt with.

(I have blisters from tying the quilt :)

I love this sweet teddy bear dressed up as a bunny :)

This quilt is so sweet :)

I am so honored to have been asked to work on this special project.
