I Finished the Quilt!

 I wanted to get this quilt quilted last week, but I just couldn't carve out a big enough chunk of time to get it done.


This is my sister and my long distance, via technology quilt-a-long for this fall.


I needed to do some laundry today so in and around loading the washer, unloading the washer, drying, folding and putting away the clean laundry, I worked on quilting this quilt.


I worked off and on, on it all day, and here is the finished product! 

(It was early evening when I snapped this picture, so the colors don't show up as well as they do in brighter daylight.)

I absolutely love it and now have it displayed hanging through a grapevine wreath on an inside door in my house.  

(It's not a full-size quilt!)

Guess what!!!  My sister and I enjoyed working on this pattern so much that we're going to do a Christmas version this fall/winter as well!

Until next time,

    That's a beautiful piece of work and I love the idea of yourself and your sister sitting working together despite being far apart physically. I am in the North of England and my sister lives in Chicago. We have only started sharing video calls since my mother died 15 months ago (often by accident when I press the wrong button!) and it is wonderful to see her face.

      Tracy, thank you. The loss of our mother is what started my sister and I on this adventure. It has been one of the best healing tools we've utilized in our grief journey.

    That's beautiful, Patsy! I love those fall colors. Do you think your sister would let you post a picture of hers? I'd love to see her interpretation and color choices of the same pattern!...Glenda S.
