I Left My Quilts in Kansas City…….

Posted By on December 10, 2008

I delivered three quilts in Kansas City……and that is a happy feeling.

Fred’s Boxy Stars (Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville Pattern) went over big.  Brother Fred loved it – and especially the back which was made from his pocket t-shirts.  Sara Parrish quilted it and left one pocket free so that I could put one of Fred’s Signature pens in it.   This was FUN to make!

My neice, Amanda, got the Purple Braid Quilt – the only quilt that I have pieced by hand (Sara Parrish did the quilting and she did a FABULOUS job!)  As far as I know this was a suprise for Amanda – and I think she liked it – her favorite color is purple!  Her baby – Tara Lynn – took a real liking to the quilt!!!

The last quilt will be making its home in Texas and it is for my nephew, Dustin, who is serving in the Coast Guard.  It is the Pineapple Crush pattern (Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville Orange Crush Design) and it was quilted by Sara Parrish in Midlothian, VA
