Recliner Quilt
4 Attachment(s)
Our friend Rita lost her DH Alan of 70 years this summer. When she told me that she now always sleeps in her recliner in the TV room, I wanted to make her a recliner sized quilt. My friend sewbeadit helped me pick out a design: a log cabin with one side of the block larger than the other, which makes for a nice wavy pattern.
The quilt is made with reproduction 1800’s fabrics in indigos and creams. (Blue is Rita's favorite color) We took it to Julie Degrave of Pines and Needles Quilting and she did a lovely allover quilting design, which I've tried to show in the close ups. Rita really loves it as you can see from her beautiful picture. She said she never in her life would have thought someone would make something like this for her. |
Great quilt and you are a great friend to make her a recliner quilt!

Beatiful quilt - beautiful lady - and wonderful of you to have done something that makes her so obviously happy.

What a wonderful thing to do for the lovely lady Rita! The quilt is magnificent! I love the fabrics you have chosen, it almost gives a lacy look because of the circles and swirling patterns in some of the fabrics.
|
Looks as comfy as a pair of well loved jeans. I just love it.

Lovely quilt and such a nice gesture. :)

An amazing story and such a beautiful quilt. You made me smile with your generosity.

What a great friend you are!! That took a lot of work. The quilt is quite lovely and the sweet lady seems to love it so much. As my Granny used to say "Just one more star in your crown of Heaven"

The smile on her beautiful face says it all! Awesome quilt and a wonderful thing to do!
