SAO Quilts and other Projects Finished in 2010

Posted By on June 19, 2016

In 2007 I finished 17 quilts. In 2008 I finished 19 quilts. In 2009 I must have been completely crazy – it appears I made 34 quilts in 2009. So, did I slow down in 2010 – well, maybe a little bit – I made 27! Here we go with the photos!

#1      FLOWERS OF HOPE (48″ x 62″) was made and quilted by me for the victims of the tsunami in Japan.  As it turned out, I didn’t have confidence in my ability to quilt so I was embarrassed to give it away – so I picked another quilt to donate.  I kept this one.  Flowers of Hope is now a baby quilt for Puppy Atlas – born Dec. 15, 2017!
