It has been a CRAZY week... How has yours been???
Here is my finish for this week... so Glad that I only had to do the quilting to make it a finish!!
The Quilt was made by Barbara. She was one of the lovely QOV'ers who would make tops and send them to me. She sadly , passed away last year. So it was an honor to quilt this one .
Isn't it Gorgeous?
There is still snow - I mean icy miserable snow.. not the fun and fluffy kind.
Finding a dry spot to shoe/trim horses is almost impossible and the ice is scary.
My dad took a fall and it has been crazy .... that stupid ice gets you every time!
A close up of the quilting.
Hope you got something progressing this week? It is now your turn to shine!!! Link away!!

What a special finish! I hope your dad wasn't hurt when he fell on the ice. School is closed here this morning because the roads are all a sheet of glass.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Alycia. that is a lot of triangles. such a labor of love. I am sure Barbara would've been so happy for your lovely quilting to complete this project. It is indeed gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt of valor is a real beauty. I hate ice too, except in my water. Always been afraid of it, obviously I was never on skates. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteBarbara pieced a lovely top. Glad you got to put the finishing touches on it.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is beautiful! I agree, icy snow is no fun at all. I hope your Dad is OK and that no one else gets injured!
ReplyDeleteThe QOV design is terrific! I'm sure the quilting process was a little bittersweet as you remembered your friend.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm so sorry to hear that your dad fell. I hope he is okay. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is stunning and a beautiful way to spend time remembering and honoring Barbara.
Yes, that is a beautiful quilt! It's so sad that Barbara didn't get to see it quilted. I'm sure she would have loved those stars as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI hope your dad is okay. I remember falling on ice when I was younger and it hurt. It would hurt more now.
Boy, this one really got the salty water building in the tear ducts... What a special finish. The quilting is beautiful, and the quilt is such a great tribute to a marvelous woman. I, too, think she would be honored. I'm so sorry your dad took a spill. We have not been out at all this week, thanks to the snow and ice. Love the moisture; not so enthusiastic about the slipping a sliding!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt, and a lovely one to honor both your friend who pieced it and a veteran! I hope your dad didn't get hurt. I'm being very careful with my mom in this stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh, it turned out beutifully! Ice is a formidable opponent during winter! Be careful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt. Hope your dad is ok after his fall.
ReplyDeleteSure is a gorgeous finished.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your dad fell, hope he is OK
I’m sorry about the loss of your friend and fellow QOVer. Her top is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI hope your dad is ok. My son wouldn't let me on the patio the other day because of ice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt, made by you and your friend for a good cause. Take care on the ice, hope your dad is okay.
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, beware of that ice! We have lots of snow but ice underneath, so a little bit treacherous. That is a great quilt - you did a great job quilting it. Take care and I hope that next week is less crazy?!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely quilt. I like how those two different blocks play so well together. It's sad to hear of quilters who have died. But what a blessing that you could finish her quilt. Sorry about the ice but, please keep it there and don't send it to the Mid-Atlantic states.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is beautiful and extra special! I really like how the courthouse steps work with the star blocks! Hope you dad is OK
ReplyDeleteooh it's a beauty alycia....so sorry to hear about your dad, hope nothing serious...
