It’s NOW 45 Years Later

“They” said it Wouldn’t Last !

When a boy meets a girl… And 45 years later… it’s a life of joy, laughter, fun and family. I am blessed with his love. It’s been a fantastic ride in a GORGEOUS WORLD. It seems like yesterday. Wedding Quilt Story Wedding Quilt Book

We were introduced to each other on a blind date. The first Rocky movie and a pizza. It seems we have been together ever since. Two boys, two daughter-in-laws and those four wonderful Grands.

We are pretty much together 24/7 and it’s alright with me. All those years of his career always being first, it’s pretty special to be first now. There is no one else I would EVER laugh with SO MUCH ! We can do ANYTHING with laughter !

The Wedding Quilt Pattern Book

Every Quilt Has a Story

The Wedding Quilt is my wedding quilt pattern, it’s my Dream Quilt. At the time of our wedding I made all my clothes and had not even thought of making quilts. But after the boys arrived, Husbands job moved us all around and being alone with little ones I found quilting.

The Quilt Ladies Book Collection
The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt Pattern

Writing The Quilt Ladies books I had one of the Ladies getting married, it was time for MY dream a wedding quilt pattern and that became a Wedding quilt to be designed and made by me. Our wedding colors were Red and White, so this quilt had to be red and white.

I wanted this/my quilt to be both pieced and applique. At the time of making it I needed a hand applique project to take with me. Sewing all the units as in the quilt pattern and taking the leave blocks along in my bag, hand work as always with me. Included in the quilt pattern is hand appliques instructions, I needle turn my applique and how to use fusible web as your way to add leaves.

The hope had been to hand quilt this quilt top, that didn’t happen, life became complicated and this quilt was long arm quilted. It’s VERY nice, BUT in my heart of hearts…it should be hand quilted by me…just saying.

But, I still sleep under it just perfect and love everything about it.

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is really my quilt

The Quilt Ladies Wedding Quilt is made up of Twelve, 12” x 12” quilt blocks, each quilt block has stems and applique leaves in each corner. The outside border continues the pieced leaves, applique stems and leaves. Each quilt block is bordered so that quilting can to added with loads of space. This quilt has a finished size of 93” x 78”

Quilts Pics from Our Travels

Quilts Aging Well

When we travel I take pictures of quilt. I “ALWAYS” ask before taking pictures, to date I have not had anyone say, “NO” and most say thanks for asking.
I ONLY purchase quilts that I feel can be used and washed, there are loads of quilts to look at here at the house. It’s me…clean is clean, washed in machine, gentle and line or in drier till damp and then on line.

bethanndoing.com

These 2 quilts are from a Shop in Chillicothe, MO

Notice the red’s and how it’s the color that has stayed the best over the years. I didn’t purchase these quilts, wish I had…

This is a simple 16 block square, each square was cut 2″ x 2″

for a finished block of 6″ x 6″, quilting had been recently done by machine, blocks were also machine pieced. I’ll draw this quilt block up and share soon !

Baskets set on point with out squares with lots of quilting
