Mum also has 4 other large tops that need to take their turn on the machine: Monsters applique, Joy Of Life applique, Eureka Chain and my vintage-look Dear Jane. I also have the red, white, yellow cherries quilt to pass on!!
Here is a finish for 2008 you haven't seen before. Flowers From My Garden designed by Lori Smith ( I loooove her patterns).
Whoops! There it goes!
I promise I don't have any other quilts I finished this year waiting for a sunny day on the clothesline.
Amongst working and having a life, it took about one week to applique each block. 16 blocks? That's 4 months of applique!!
Mum outlined each applique and quilted leaves along the sashing, a rose in the cornerstones and a lovely border treatment - lots of swirls. I am so spoilt!!
No-one else in the family quilts, so I am very lucky. Mum says I will get her Statler Gammill in the will! I reckon it will be worn out by that time!!! LOL!!!

Beautiful quilt. I hear you about appliqueing for four months. But, look how wonderful. Worth every stitch.
Thank you Karen! You are so encouraging! :)
Oh, wow! This quilt is beautiful! It would have taken me 4 YEARS to do all that applique!
(As you can tell, I'm jumping around your blog looking at all your pretty quilts. You are a great quilter, and also LUCKY to get your mom to quilt them for you! I wonder if I could talk my mom into that... )
