Graduation Quilts
 

I have two grandsons graduating this spring--one from high school and the other from college. The high school grad wanted a quilt for Okla State Univ where he plans to attend. The college grad is finishing a Wildlife and Park Managements degree, so thought the "woodsy" print was a good choice for him. It came as a kit, but I doubled the original and then added the piano key border to make it bigger. Will be taking these to the quilter as soon as I return to Kansas. Right now I'm helping my sister out in Indiana. Today I have her great granddaughter while she is at the hospital with her daughter (the baby's grandmother is fighting cancer). It has been many years since I took care of a six month old.
I made these tops using my "new" Featherweight. Sewed like a charm and what a joy to have a small machine to travel with. If I need fancy stitching for anything I use my sister's machine.

Both quilts are stunning - absolutely the perfect gift for each graduate. Very thoughtful.

wonderful quilts!!!!

Very Pretty.

Nice work. Love them both. Prayers to all.

like both of your quilts!!! That one for the college grad really beautiful!!!!

What lucky grandsons you have. Both quilts are just right!

Wow, you did a great job. The boys should be thrilled.

Wonderful quilts, you are going to have a couple of happy grandsons.

Both quilts are beautiful. I bet your Grandson was super proud of OSU and the Cowboys this past year! My son went to OSU a long time ago. They also have several pro golfers that graduated from there, the most recent being Ricky Fowler.

Both are terrific! :)

Both quilts are beautiful! Your grandons will love them.

Both quilts are really nice.

Both quilts a gorgeous. I'm sure they will love them.

Beautiful, I like them both. Bet they will be thrilled!!!

Both are awesome!!!

Beautiful quilts, I do admire you as you are quilting and finding joy even in stressful times. Quilting helps me a lot to.

Both quilts are fabulous! What a nice grandma you are! And what a wonderful sister, too! Here's wishing you, my fellow KS sister, many more happy quilting experiences on your Featherweight (do you not just LOVE it? Mine is ALL I use to quilt!).

Both guys should be so excited! And it's not even Graduation time yet! Aren't you the organized one!

Lucky boys. Both quilts are great.

Wow, you did a great job.

Those are great quilts, the guys will love them.

Great job on both quilts! And it's only February and they are done! WooHOO!

Yes, I did love how it sewed. This was my first time for using it extensively. I have to adjust the bobbin tension occasionally but it isn't hard to do. I may invest in a new bobbin holder (can't think of the right word) sometime.
Another sister and I are going to Hawaii the end of April and first of May, so I had to have these ready to take to the quilter as soon as I get back to Kansas. Think we get home from our trip one week before the first graduation.

they are awesome!

Great Job!! I really love the woodsy one. Lodge look is my favorite. :D

Both are gorgeous.

They are lovely quilts - I particularly like the wildlife quilt and I think the piano key border is a nice touch. Both recipients will no doubt be very pleased with their gifts! Great work!

Your DGS's will be thrilled with these wonderful quilts!

These are perfect for their requests. They will love them.

Great quilts, I'm sure your grandsons will love and cherish them.

all i can say is wow

Those are absolutely wonderful quilts. I know they will be enjoyed for a lot of years. You did such a good job makin them. Now to get busy with my two graduation quilts!!!!

What a beautiful quilt

Very pretty! :) :)

Both quilts are very nice. The woodsy one is just great.

The quilts are beautiful. Is there somewhere I can get the pattern for the college quilt. I think I can use it to make a quilt for my niece for her graduation.

Thanks for the information you sent. I really enjoyed seeing your quilts, and I know the young men receiving them will be thrilled. Thinking of Sharon and Christina this morning, and know you will have fun with the baby. Thanks for sharing
