    Default Recent Quilts

    I have a friend who has two sons she raised as a single Mom. The two boys are super intelligent, well-mannered, and fun to be around so I sorta "adopted" them, having no children of my own. This fall the younger son started college and the older son transferred from community college to Oregon State University. I decided I wanted to make each of them a quilt to let them know how special they are to me. Luke's (#2 son) favorite colors are red and black and Sam's favorite color is green so I used that as my criterion for fabric colors. I machine sewed and hand-quilted both quilts. The red and black one is named "Ten Minute Tiles" and the green one is named "Fractured Fractions." Both are kits I ordered from Keepsake.

    I didn't include pictures of the back but I used coordinating fabric and included a picture of the recipient and my label. They got their quilts four days ago. The pictures shows each boy holding his quilt.

    The picture doesn't show up on my computer. It must be available to other people but I'm not sure why.

    Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it.

    Can't see pics either. But you are a special gal and the boys are very lucky to have you in their lives.

    How do I get the picture to show up? I've followed the directions carefully and made sure the file was the right size. I am stymied here and feeling pretty dumb. HELP!

    Default Let's try this again

    Okay, I am trying again to get the picture of the boys and their quilts to show up. I have also included the picture of a pillow I made for Luke. I used satin for the body of the car and paint for the chrome and details. I made a pillow for Sam with an applique of the symbol for drama (comedy and tragic masks) but forgot to take a picture of his pillow.

    Obviously I didn't get it right the second time so I give up. Just take my word for it--they are rather cool.
