The Colonial Ladies

Goodbye lovely Colonial Ladies, safe journey..This quilt is on it's way to California as of this afternoon. My cousin started embroidering the blocks in 1985 to make a quilt for her granddaughter. In about 2001, I went to Phoenix to visit her and she showed me the blocks then. We went to a quilt store, picked out the sashing and border fabric and I set it together for her while I was there visiting. I finally convinced her to send me the quilt last November and I would take it to a machine quilter and get it done for her. I got it back from the quilter in January and I have finally gotten it bound, labeled and petted many times and shown it to lots of my quilting buddies. Today was the day that I got it boxed and sent it on it's way back to her. She lives in California now. It was hard to say Good-bye but I'm so anxious for her to get to see it and enjoy it for a little bit before she sends it to Florida to the lucky granddaughter to love and cherish for a long time, I hope. I have made a slideshow of the blocks, binding and label for you to look at. I hope you enjoy seeing The Ladies as much as I have enjoyed seeing them in a finished quilt. Sew until next time, I hope you have a Stitches kind of day too..........

Dang it!! I just noticed that I misspelled "Colonial" on the title of the slide show..It's going to bug me but I don't know if I can correct it or not, maybe I'll try, grrrrrrrrrr!! Grandma always said Haste Makes Waste or whatever!!! And I have linked up with Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday, stop by and check it out..
