I finally finished this fishing quilt for my Uncle Bob-his 93rd birthday is Oct 2nd!! His favorite past time when he was still able was to go fishing in the lake. It is hand-quilted, and I made a matching pillow case which I will put the quilt in to give it to him. Since my dad died when I was only 18, he has always been there for me-he even walked me down the isle when I got married nearly 36 years ago! I am SO glad this is done, I was struggling because it wasn't my favorite fabric (it was picked for him) and I REALLY want to start on my BOW TUCKS!!! I leave for Vanuatu again in 2 weeks, so I want to get a couple done before I leave!
I just washed it so it is a little wrinkled, but so soft! [ATTACH=CONFIG]258544[/ATTACH] the label I put on the back [ATTACH=CONFIG]258546[/ATTACH] |
So cute and I really think the label fits!
Congrats and hope your Uncle Bob enjoys it for many years to come. |

I'm sure he will appreciate it, sounds like he is a wonderful man worthy of all your hard work. It's a great quilt!

You did a beautiful job on both piecing and the quilting, love the label.

JIll..this is so fabulous! What a great gift! He will love it! Most important he will find comfort with it. I hope you have a safe trip back to Vanuatu.

That is such a lovely gift, I bet Uncle Bob will be so happy to have that on his lap, beautiful hand quilting and the label is wonderful! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

How sweet. Uncle Bob will love and cherish his quilt and the deeper meaning of it for a long time to come. Have a safe trip.

Bless your heart, Uncle Bob will surely love that quilt and the remembrances it brings to mind.
