      My aunt and I did, yes. They saved fabric from their mom's clothing when she passed, and my aunt wanted something made with meaning. She suggested a tree, but also wanted a bed runner, nothing large. So I hopped on EQ7 and searched trees, found that one, and we designed it so that each tree has one fabric for the leaves, with the mom tree having leaves from each sibling tree (there are 6 kids). The mom tree has the red trunk, as that was her favorite color, and each kid tree has a red leaf (placed in the spot of their birth order as I was appliqueing the leaves). I quilted the trees with red for the same reason.

      It is simple fusible applique, then the quilting stitches further hold it down. Center leaf vein in each leaf (and outline), and a heart etched into the tree trunk along with wood grain around it on all the tree trunks. Leaf vine in the border, with hearts on the corners. Stippling/meander in the background. It was a lot of fun, and my aunt fused the fusible to the fabric, then cut out all the leaves for me, thank goodness!

      I love making things with meaning, and she'd seen that from my facebook posts, so specifically asked me to do this rather than her sister, who has done a few simple patchworks for the other sisters with their saved fabric. This aunt, and my mom, both wanted something a little more than that, so I'm happy to help with it. My mom is coming next week and we'll do hers -- she wants a bookshelf quilt, with the book spines being the clothing fabric. It's all planned, the fabric all sorted, and we'll work on it together, so it should go smoothly.

        Carol--my grandson thinks I am a genius because his quilt is so great--on the cotton side when he is too hot--flannel side when he is cold.
        Welcome Beabry.

                      Drum Roll! I see that Dawn's quilt Eye of the Storm has been selected as Quilt of the Day! Congradulations! It is beautiful and so creative. Very well designed. The description says it is still under construction. Were you able to get it finished?

                      Comment


                        Thanks for the heads up, Judith! And, thanks for the compliments! Yes, it has been completed! Dana Lynch quilted it for me, and then I added lots and lots of crystals. I actually took the picture of an eye out of the very center, and renamed it. Just can't remember what I named it, right now. (I was up in the wee hours of the morning with a migraine, and just crawled out of bed. It is now 9:30.)

                        I will share a picture of some of the quilting and crystal work, later today. And, I'll look back at a show catalog for it's current name.

                            Judith, Dawn, Wendy,
                            Please help me, I don't know where 'quilt of the day' is. I'm sure I'll enjoy the spot, once I get there. So, please send directions, location, etc
                            Thanks a bunch

                              I'm sure you get a daily email from TQS. Just open the latest one and scroll down quite a ways, and there is the Quilt Of The Day. I thought I found it on the blog earlier today, but didn't just now. Maybe I flew right past it. You can also see the quilt on my profile page.
