2007 was perhaps my most productive sewing year to date. I had a 'near life ending' health scare in March and after a week in the hospital, at least 4 weeks rcuperating at home, I got busy sewing and couldn't seem to stop. These pictures represent some of the results.

A little history to the first two pictures: My mother hand sewed these Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks when she was 16 or in 1929. They were not the best of work, but they must have meant a great deal to her because she hung onto them through at 8-10 household moves, including considerable downsizing. In order to give a usable quilt to each of my DDs and to have one for myself, I came up with this layout to try to honor her blocks.
