Blanky for Hudson and Bloomers for Mia

I am closing up the sewing room for the summer. Some wonderful things have been created, planned, and sewn together this last year. Most of which has been recorded on this blog. Some things are on going, like the quilts that Hannah and Kacie are making with me. Bailey's (my brother's granddaughter)is going to make a quilt with me. I've also purchased some beautiful paisley material and a darling apron pattern that I want to make for my daughter's for Christmas this year. I have a red, white, lime green and pink jelly roll, that will make a quilt for my grandmas room.

Quilting will be a lost art if it's not past down to the younger generation. I remember my grandmother Allred quilting. I never had the opportunity to learn from her, but I am the recipient of some of her quilts. I did quilt some with my mother, and I wouldn't trade the last 38 years of quilting experiences I've had with many women from all over, for anything! It's important to me that I share this art with this younger generation. They are the ones that will carry on the traditions, of many women, throughout history, who have carefully designed and created quilts, that have given warmth and comfort to families and friends -- and many in need.

ANYWAY

I'm looking forward to working in my garden and having picnics with my grandchildren this summer.
