The Thimbleberries Lodge Lap Quilt is a Wrap!
Posted By drsao on April 21, 2008
The Thimbleberries Lodge Lap Quilt is a wrap. I just finished it tonight and it has a home on the wall in the family room – with its pillow (one of the ALL THE RAGE Quilter’s Corner’s Block of the Month blocks!) cousin. YEAH. It is always fun to complete a project, isn’t it!!! 🙂
My son-in-law, Greg (AKA der5er.com) sure did stain and hang those quilt blocks PERFECTLY!
As I stood admiring my “masterpiece” my grandangel, Leanna, tactfully wondered (outloud) if I had made the trees upside down…..I immediately ran to get the pattern to show her that I did, indeed, get those trees right side up! (I am known in my family to have geographical incompetencies – so it was a logical concern!)
Valerie of A NEEDLE RUNS THROUGH IT in Goochland, VA, my longarm expert, did a great job of quilting it.
And here is the pillow! Another line item crossed off my TO DO LIST.
I just don’t know what was more fun today – finishing this lap quilt (and crossing it off my list) or helping two classes of approximately 50 first graders (all at the same time) sort 30 to 40 bags of plastic, paper, styrofoam, metal and glass recycled trash to be made into art. I was an ART substitute teacher today – and that was one of the BEST ART PARTIES EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND! The kids didn’t even HEAR the relaxing background music played for the purpose of interjecting calm and order into the project!!! 🙂
What a pretty quilt. And isn’t it great when you can let children just let rip into something so exciting, yet know that they’re still under control, just having great fun.
Love this quilt!! Beautiful job! 🙂
