This first pic is my very first "quilt" made back in 1973 or so. I just used 2 sheets, a lightweight batt and tied it and rolled over the edges. Not sure if it would be called a quilt or a blanket. The second pic is what I call my Divorce Therapy Quilt. It kept me busy and got me through some rough patches.

Isn't quilting wonderful? You never know what you can do until you try, and even if you do it 'wrong', it still right! And as far as therapy...it's the BEST!

You do such wonderful piecing!

The first quilt looks fantastic beings how it will be 38 years old this year. The checkers are perfect. I shy away from them.

I love the colors in the second quilt! What a great job you did.

Thanks for sharing.

Glad the first one gave you the bug and the second Cured you of what was ailing you now time for the WOW factor and clean bill of health (smurk)

Very beautiful!

both are very pretty!

nice work

Beautiful! I love your quilts!

Love your color choices on both. So bright and cheerful in spite of the circumstances!

Both are very pretty quilts.

Very pretty quilts. I especially like your therapy quilt. Quilting really is the greatest therapy for lots of what we go through in life. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jan. I didn't piece the first one - it is a sheet! wish I could be that good!

Beautiful!

Both of your quilts are beautiful :D:D:D

Quilting has gotten me through rough patches, too. Thanks for sharing pics of your lovely quilts - the first one is in amazing condition for its age!

Love them !!! always liked tying

I went thru a rough patch last year but my quilting stuff was in storage. it felt so good to have it out and be back to quilting. definitely good therapy. love your divorce therapy quilt.

Thanks Cathy. It was this quilt that I could go slow or just throw everything together and rant and rave, cry, cuss and pray.

I just love these. My granny always tied her quilts and your pictures warmed my heart with memories of her.

Lovely, lovely quilts.
Lori

They are both very nice!
