Grandmother's flower garden quilt
I am working on a grandmother's flower garden quilt. I have a friend that has made several over the past years and decided I need to make one.
This pattern is a little different than the usually quilt. How long will it take me to make? I have no idea!
I like to make quilts by hand but they do take a long time to make. I still sew a lot of my quilts on my sewing machine.
With the economy the way it is and so many people out of work I have not been selling to many quilts so have cut back on making them this year.
Have been amking doll quilts and table runners.
I did buy a pack of wool batting to make a quilt for my husband and my bed for the winter. Have not decided what pattern I want to use. Really need to get started on that. I will have this quilt machine quilted.
This has been a very busy summer and I cannot believe it is almost over with.
Planted a garden to can and freeze a little food but cold weather got most of crop. I did manage to can a few things.
Need to make more cherry preserves. What I made last year is all gone. Someone in the family liked it.
Have been doing a little traveling with family seeing local places close to home.
