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
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
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
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.
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!!
Time to Link up:

How sweet are those quilts! I'm sure that dear lady was happy to have someone to enjoy them.
Colorful, patchwork quilts are my favorite! Someone's going to get a lot of love and comfort from that one. Love your gratitude photo today, too! Happy Friday!
How cool that you gave her one, kept one and donated one. I've just seen Bonnie's first post. I'm ready to jump in, well probably not till after lunch, coffee with friends first.
What a great story. I know it is difficult for a quilter to use all of her stash. I make efforts at it and still have lots of fabric hanging around. Time to start making backing rather than buying them.
What a help you were to that quilter! I like the scrappy quilt you shared as a finish. I like to look at all the different fabrics in a scrap quilt. . .you can entertain yourself for hours seeing how many of that fabric is in the quilt! Yep. . .I'm starting clue one today on the BH mystery.
So nice of you to help her finish her quilt mission on earth!
I am already doing one mystery, it finishes in Feb tho, maybe I should jump in on another? We will see! Have a happy thanksgiving!
That is gorgeous Alycia. Thanks for sharing.
Ah, what sweet quilts!
That quilt will be well loved.
I love that you took the first finished quilt back to the maker and kept the second. And the big hearts feel like the perfect choice for the third!
Wonderful scrappy finishes.
What a wonderful story and one that most of us will face down the road… it’s Sandra ephdra at gmail dot com
Quilted with hearts and love! So appropriate!!!
