I have my first quilt made. It is #6620 Flowers for Dora
And of course I have gotten my Guild into the act now!!!
I've had a sick child at home all weekend. Hopefully she will be well for school tomorrow. This weekend I did get a little gardening done. We planted green beans and purple hull peas.
This is a terrible picture. But my early peas are looking very nice.
As are the tomatoes. They are still small and they don't look like much on film! Ha ha ....Film!
Anyway, the pictures don't show the tomatoes well.
Daughter #2 has started quilting her first quilt. We are using my machine and the walking foot. Even with that I had difficulty explaining to a 7 year old how to hold and move the quilt! This is going to take a while.
Happy Quilting

I have finally finished my Red quilt for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It is working double duty. It is also my first registered quilt for the Alzheimer's Priority Quilts. I have made 2 others, but those are for my Guild group Alzheimer's project. This one was registered today.
I decided to have some of the flowers showing their backs and some showing their front. I painted the yellow fabric last year. I think the yellow and red looks really good together. I wasn't sure at first how it would look. It's awfully BOLD.
With the lace hanging past the bottom it measures exactly 12 inches. I hope they use the same ruler! They won't take it if it is over 12 inches!
The title is "Flowers for Dora" #6620. She's my grandmother and she has Alzheimer's. She taught me to quilt. One of the funniest things she told me was, "every quilt must have red." She NeVeR wore red. She was pink and peach all the way. I think she really liked red though! So this is for Grandma.
Happy Quilting
