a lady at work did this one and she is 102. she pieced the top i put it together and has it long armed. i still consider my self a beginer. but i had to try to do this for her. it turned out great and the great great grand daughter loved it. blessings to all ogama

WOW I'll never be as good as she is and I'm a few years younger!

What a treasure, and so nice that they took a picture of her with the quilt. I have always wanted to try that pattern. This may just be my motivation. Thank you so much for posting.

Awesome!

If I live to be 102 I too hope I can still quilt. what a beautiful quilt and what a nice thing to do.

WOW!

That is so pretty!

God Bless~~~~~ ELSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May we still be able to quilt when we are 102 AND that we have a friend like ogama to help us!!!
Kudo's to you!!!!!!!
The quilt is STUNNING :!: :!: :!:

WOW

Oh my, what a gorgeous quilt! Glad you included her in the picture. Give Elsie a big hug for all of us. Bet the quilting helps keep her going. She is a true artist. I've always loved that pattern but thought it would be too difficult. Maybe I just need a few more years experience - like about 40. :)

Wow! So beautiful! Would love to talk to her. Imagine the stories she could share about her life growing up.....

Wow I can't even imagine living that long and being healthy enough to continue quilting, but I hope when I get close to that age I can still quilt

So beautiful Elsie, and at the age of 102. It is nice u can still enjoy quilting and u look so happy to hold it. U keep going girl for all of us ok.....your work is astonishing

They say keep your mind busy I think she did a GREAT job!

Do you remember what the pattern is?

This is absolutely lovely. Kudos to you for helping her get it quilted. A lady at work? At 102 (smile)? Thank you for sharing.

What a sweetie! I love her quilt. Thanks for sharing it with us.

What a beautiful quilt and smiling face of the lady who did it as 102. Nice find for a genealogist in the family to keep and pass down to future generations. Love the pattern.

What a treasure ... both Elsie and the quilt!!!

It's gorgeous. What an amazing woman.

:thumbup:

I know I will not be around that long, but I will be trying to quilt as long as I am able.

Wow. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!
I hope to follow in her footsteps.

Awww Love the Quilt and what a precious lady that quilted it: It is so awesome to see this lovely quilt and wonderful lady that made it: What a heirloom: This family is soooo blessed.

Absolutely amazing! So pretty!!

Oh my, how beautiful is that. What an awsome woman.

Well said.

Wow 102 what a remarkable lady..... I should only be so lucky to reach anything near 102. Elsie may you be quilting for many years to come..... keep making those treasures.

Did meet a lady that was 102 years young and I asked her what was the one thing the made the most impression on her....
Well she said there were many thing but the one that stands out to her is when the took the outhouse and put it in the house.....

Elsie hope you are having a great day..... your quilt is wonderful.

It is just beautiful. Good for her.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! She is definitely an inspiration. The quilt is fantastic.

Both did fine work.....It is interesting to me that a 102 yr old woman is still working at a job, besides hand piecing quilts.

wonderful that she is still able to do this. And for friends to do the quilting.

That is so awesome! Beautiful quilt!

Wow... Such a beautiful quilt.

fabulous!

That's a beautiful quilt no matter what age the maker is but at 102 hope I can do as well.

For those interested, I "think" this is the pattern ... Nosegay, or Nosegay Bridal Quilt
