For a Special Woman

Sometimes I make a quilt because I can't think of any other way to express what a person means to me.  That is why I made this quilt, "Native Flair".  (Pattern by Sindy Rodenmayer at www.fatcatpatterns.com)

The recipient will be my daughter's doctor, a psychiatrist.  I also made a quilt for her counselor several years ago.  We found these two women after trying ten or twelve others who were not a good fit for us.  They go above and beyond for their patients, giving of themselves until they must be physically and emotionally exhausted.  They deserve comforting quilts!

The recipient of Native Flair takes a great interest in Native American cultures, evidenced by the decor of her office.  We can't wait to give her this quilt--just in time for winter snuggling!

My Beautiful Gift Quilt

Look at the beautiful quilt I was given by the members of the Quilting Passion Forum! I am so honored to have this quilt, knowing the love, work, and expense that went into it. It will always be a cherished possession, and I can't wait for cold weather so I can take some naps under it!!! My deepest thanks to all who had a part in it.


Peggy organized this project and assembled the quilt top. She sent it to Debi, who quilted and bound it. Val designed and printed the label.



Here is a close shot of Debi's beautiful quilting.

Last, but not least, is a beautiful throw pillow, made from an extra block. It was made by Mara Del, a dear friend of forum member, Dorothy. Dorothy mailed it to me. (I was fortunate to meet both of them when we all visited Dallas last fall.)
