Hi,

I've left comments on here but never posted pics before. These are a few I made a couple of years ago.

The 1st one is a Crazy Shortcut Quilt as You Go Quilt for my oldest son.


The 2nd is a memory quilt I made in memory of my beloved stepson that went home to be with Jesus in 2009.

The 3rd is one I designed and made for my father-in-law. I had just started quilting when I made it.

So sorry for the loss of your step-son. Your quilts are all beautiful.

Not an ugly quilt in the bunch!! Great job....:thumbup: :D :thumbup:

I know quilting helps ease grief. It helped a lot after my DD died. :-(

Thanks Lori! Loosing SS was very hard. Quilting helped me get through my grief at the initial loss.

As you can all see it seems I like scrappy quilts...I really have made several that aren't scrappy too. I'll have to look for those pictures.

Most of my quilts are twin size or smaller. Seems I'm in the age bracket where there are lots of grandbabies being born! We just had number 8 born last week and I haven't even gotten his quilt started...bad Nana! (I do have the fabric picked out at least!)

Such beautiful and meaningful quilts.

Beautiful quilts!!

My condolences to you and your family. Quilting is wonderful therapy. I draw a lot of comfort from mine, and it looks like the same for you. I love the stack n whack in the first pic. The colors are so beautiful!

So sorry for the loss of your stepson. All your quilts are beautiful and very well made. I really like the scrappy one in your avatar; I'll have to put in on my "to-do" list!

What beautiful quilts. I say you did a bang up job.
My condolences to you and your family. We will be thinking of you.

Sorry for loss of SS I lost a Son in 2009

Sorry for your loss! Glad to see you are making beautiful creations! :)

Jean,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss in 2009 as well.

Yes it does help doesn't it. My DM passed away in April from issues related to her Alzheimers and I spent a lot of time quilting while off of work. It's a wonderful therapy for me...although it's definitely not cheaper than a therapist!

Your quilts are all beautiful.

Beautiful quilts, enjoyed viewing them.

very pretty quilts...so sad to hear about your step-son...

Bless your heart... so sad to lose a young person that we love.

Diannia thank you for sharing your quilts and the stories behind them. I am so sorry for the loss of your stepson. I hope the quilts continue to bring you comfort - they are all beautiful and I am sure the newest little additions to your family will treasure theirs. And Hurrah for Purple!

Beautiful work!! T hanks for sharing!

Thanks Sue! My mom's fav flower was lilacs so I did that in purple and called it "Lilac Love" for her. I hand quilted it with large flowers using the big stitch method. Since she was in a nursing home and we were afraid the quilt would "find it's way to someone else" I made a template of her full name and quilted it around the border with smaller flowers at each corner. I sent it to her for Christmas. My family took it to her in the nursing home. They left it for a few days then took it back home and would take it to her ever so often. My DSIL just mailed it back to me. It was very bittersweet to receive it back.
