SAO Quilts and other Projects Finished in 2017
Posted By drsao on December 1, 2017
This year I finished 11 quilts which brings me to a grand total of 217…and I am not counting the one that I pieced when I was 5 years old because my grandma cut out all of the pieces, sewed it together, and had it quilted.
Quilts Finished in 2017
#1 Mountain Majesty Quilt was made for my brother and his wife’s (Dan and Glenda Albertson) dog, Lilo. It is a Bonnie K Hunter Design and was quilted by Sara Parrish. This was a pattern not for the faint of heart or for those with poor spatial skills (me.) It took two grandangels, myself, and my son-in-law to get this quilt laid out properly!

#2 The Diver Dra Quilt was made from my brother, Dan Albertson’s, diving 5-shirts. I designed the quilt and Sara Parrish did the quilting. It was a labor of love for sure!

K9 For Warriors
This K9 for Warriors project is a passion of mine. Each month, 12 vets are given a service dog and spend 3 weeks in Florida training with them. Many of the vets are able to give up meds for PTSD after having the support of these service dogs (who are all rescues, I might add.) Ginger Whiting organizes the quilt for the dogs projects. I sew the bindings on. (This year I made 10.)
