This is a follow up to the Memory Quilts thread I started in the Main Forum pages. I wanted to post pics of it now that it is done. (3 more to go from this fabric - 2 are ready for binding, one is still on the design board.) Dena, who was a nurse, was best friend to Laura, who commissioned the quilts. Laura will be giving 3 of them to Dena's children and grandkids in October. The quilts are made from 6 scrub tops that were Dena's and about 40 quarter yards that Laura picked out.

Also, I have been making fall wreaths to sell to a few coworkers. They are silk garlands on grapevine wreaths.

I hope you enjoy them, and maybe get inspired yourself! Fall starts tomorrow!

This is a wreath I made this week. I love how they make you look forward to Fall.

Full view of the quilt. It is bordered by footprints in the sand fabric, and the backing fabric is called "Little Angels."
