Gratitude 22, a Scrappy Quilt and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!

 


I would maintain that Thanks are the highest form of thought, and the Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder - G Chesterton  Taken somewhere in Northern Colorado while hiking



Several years ago - I got a call from a quilter. She said she had fabric that she needed to donate, sell , and move out of her house. Could I help? I loaded 2 of the 3 boys and we headed over to her house. She had a lot.... we sorted, and donated, and sold, and I don't want to do that again 😅

When we were getting to the end of her piles she wanted us to go thru, she pulled out some already completed Quilt tops - super scrappy ones. The fabrics were so fun. They are all probably 60-80's based on her stories about them

She was in a wheel chair/scooter and was not going to be able to finish them, so she handed them to me and said - Can you quilt them and get them to someone to love? 


I Quilted the first one and took it back to her. I quilted the second one, and kept it. Me and Puppy just loved it. Now Bella gets to look at it on my lap. She is not quite as gentle as Puppy was. but I have faith - she will get there...... 

and now this is the third one. I quilted it with BIG hearts all over it!!

It is washed and ready to find its home. This photo was taken during sunset. Its amazing how the colors change - the other two were in full sunlight on a different day.

That is my finish for this week. So next week is Thanksgiving week. We will SKIP FONF on the 29th of November, but have plenty of room for TWO link ups on December 6th

I hope that works for you!!!  And How many of you are jumping in on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery? I have seen some of your posts - I am still on the fence.... but..... I sometimes just have to start way m ore things that is prudent!!
