I
made this special quilt for a friend, from fabric that his sweet mom
gave to me when she moved to assisted living. Sadly, she passed this
year, and I thought he would like a remembrance quilt.
The
design of squares and rectangles is simple but the colors of navy,
hunter green, and dark red coordinate well. I added a few squares of
my own fabric as a personal touch.
Quilting
was done with green thread, using both straight and serpentine
stitches. Remembering Naomi is 56” square. I used my restored
Singer 127 (Mary Margaret, a machine gifted to me by another friend)
to piece the blocks.
One
of the best parts of Christmas is giving. Over the past few years
I've been given lots of fabric. I believe in paying it forward, so
I've used yards of that material to sew quilts which I've donated to
local assisted living and senior living homes.
I
got a lovely thank you note from one little lady who said, “It was like the heavens opened up and rained down pretty quilts for us.”
So,
to everyone who has provided the materials that made this possible:
You are appreciated!
Merry
Christmas to you all, and I hope that you can experience the magic and joy of
giving all year long.
