“The Ladies” are The Quilt Ladies. This project started as a gift idea and turned into a quilt pattern. The Ladies started by deciding the block size of eight inches by eight inches and the piecing of only straight seams. Drawing out each quilt block on graph paper and all hand written directions, they discovered they had lots of star patterns and they liked the quilt blocks that look complicated but weren’t. So, they purchased fabric and made each quilt block.

Here it is today, “The Ladies” Quilt Pattern Book

My Holiday Gift for you – Putting the Quilt Together

This is probably my favorite part of the quilting process. Putting it all together ! When I first took a quilting class, the teacher talked about the three steps of making a quilt, 1) the idea/purchase, 2)the making of the quilt, 3) finished, the quilting/binding.

I think of this often, as I really LOVE the idea/purchase part, but a stack of fabric or blocks can NOT be called a quilt.

SO….Let’s start to put the quilt together.

My Great-Great Grandmother’s Quilt This quilt was a gift to my mother from her Great Grandmother. And then a Gift to me from My Mother. Making it by, GREAT-GREAT Grandmother’s Gift to ME ! Well…That’s how I like to look at it. I never met her and my mom only remember’s helping with the peddle sewing machine. I use this quilt and love sleeping under it. It goes in the washer and now living here in Florida and not having a clothes line it does go it the dryer….Yes… it bothers me too, but…. the colors are still very bright, but the Florida sun won on these photo’s.

The hand quilting on this quilt is WONDERFUL
