My sister made each of our family a quilt. Here we are displaying them. Our names all start with D. My brother died 12 years ago. and my dad died on Feb 11 this year. My smallest brother is currently in Iraq- his 2nd trip. We had lots of fun with the quilts.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and father

but your sister has made some fantastic quilts

I particularly like the autumnal colours in the quilt on the left

Beautiful family memories!

What a great sister! I'm so sorry to hear of your family losses.

sorry to hear about the loss in your family. ya'll have some beautiful quilts. and you be sure to tell your younger bro. that my self and mine said (THANK YOU).

Those are truly family heirlooms :D She did a wonderful job on them all :D :D :D

Echoing the sentiments expressed above.

What a wonder gift.

I meant "wonderful gift". I know a lot of love went into each one.

The quilts are so beautiful. Sorry for your loss. Still think of my father often - he has been gone 10 years. my brother has been gone 1 1/2 years. my husband 21 years. Yikes that is a long time.

Thanks for letting us in for a peek w/your fun family! Love the quilts and all the smiles and the warm weather!! Quilts are a journey, each and every one of them hold not only what is dear to us all but, the precious memories in so many ways. Thanks for sharing your quilts, family & heart! Skeat

Ahhhhhh, nothing sweeter then family and warm memories.

Did you do the top quilting for all those quilt?

my sister has the same longarm machine as I do. She is the pro in our family. She calls these quilts her practice when she wants a new pattern to try she will throw her scraps together and practice. She has done stars, animals, teddy bears, diaper pins, hearts, tons of meandering. She is my role model. She had some of these finished while I was setting my machine up.
