Some of my "Ladies In Waiting"
#31
How great, that quilting has been enjoyed for 3 generations. When I was ready for a hobby of my own (at age 50!), all my cousins and sister kept trying different interests, none of them staying with one long enough to let me learn it. And none of them ever quilted which is what I've always wanted to do. So here I am all alone but it turned out that since I've stayed with it so happily, I'm famous as the family's quilter and they all want gifts made by me. Still... it would be nice to be able to go over to one of their houses to quilt together.
You were clever to do the Dorothy quilt in sepia tones sort of like the beginning of the movie.

So far my mother has done one and my sister is working on her second one and even my DH just finished his first 2 tops. He is having a blast. He doesn't mind my blocks laying everywhere cause now his is too.

Thank all of you so much for your kind and encouraging comments. The Oz quilt was printed in the sepia tones and was meant to be the "before" quilt. This edition of Oz fabrics was called Under The Rainbow. I have some of the later fabrics that are more colorful and I'm trying to design sort of a Snail Trail pattern that would incorporate the Yellow Brick Road (the one in the movie, not the quilt pattern) I'll figure it out one of these days, make it and post it.
Once again, thank you all. It's uplifting to know that others like my quilts as much as I do. I love looking at your's too. It's inspirational.
