IT’S DONE!!! My grandaughter, Victoria, asked me last year to make her a quilt for Christmas.
Our 21 year old granddaughter!
I finished the quilt today!! I’ll get it to her sometime this week. It usually doesn’t take me a year to do a quilt because I have a friend that quilts and binds it after I do the piecing. My friend isn’t doing it anymore so I completed it all by hand. Thank the good Lord it was a simple quilt. The following is a place in time for my quilting adventure with my granddaughter:
Maybe now I’ll complete the other two quilts I started a couple years ago!! Stranger things have happened!! 🙂
I bet it is so comfortable too. Nothing better then a big quilt on a cold night, especially one made by hand from a love one. So pretty. Now I want to make a quilt.

Rita thst is a beautiful quilt. Aunt Grace use to make quilts and we had several but they got so old and ragged that I finally got rid of. I slept so good with that quilt over me in they wintertime.

Ain’t nothing cozier than sitting by the fire with a warm quilt, hot chocolate and a good book or needlework.

She went straight home, showed her mom and took it straight to her room and on her bed!!! Warms my heart!

Hi Rita. As you know, I love reading about other people’s quilts. It’s gorgeous. Great colors. Tell the truth, aren’t you glad you hand-quilted it?! I’ve only made a baby quilt this year, for one of our nieces’ first grandchild. Maybe your post will inspire me. I hope you’re doing well. 😊

She picked out the pattern (Bohemian) and the fabric from my stash. First one I’ve completed without help except for the first twelve inches of stitches I let her do when I got it on the frame.
