'Life Story' Quilt

While working at the Hobby Lobby in Tomball an older couple came in with this quilt, I was amazed! Each block represents event in their life. The husband started telling us about their adventures from each block. They let me take this picture to share with you here. This is quite a keepsake; they said each of their children wants one of their own.

Texas Quilt

The Missionaries in Teri's ward asked her to make them a Texas quilt...this is what she came up with. I absolutely LOVE what she did and the Missionaries were thrilled! With just a little encouragement, she is now making these for sell.

China Trip

Last year Dave and I took a trip to visit my sister who lives in China. This is the book I put together about that incredible experience. I use heritage makers to put it together.

Graduation Quilt Tradition

As each child graduates from High School, my Mom makes them a quilt. Here is Sarah with her quilt. It is a large gingham square with cross stitch to make the design.

This is a pictre of my mom with the quilt hanging up so you can see the work better.

This quilt was tied by the young women of our Ward. Amy desined it, I sewed it and the gilrs tied it for her. They do a quilt each year for the girls graduating.

Roosters

This Rooster quilt is all hand appliqued! Teri did it just to learn and master the blanket stitch. She ended up giving it to a friend of her sisters. If you click on the picture, I think you can see all the stitched that were put into creating each rooster.

Burnt Edge Roses

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy working at Hobby Lobby? I love meeting the people and hearing about new ideas. Every day I work someone comes in to buy some poly-satin material to make flowers for their girls hair. I finally learned how they are done and have gone wild making them. Here are pictures of some I have done. If you are interested, I can make a demo of how to do them...and internet class :)
