If you go back to my January 1st post titled New Beginning's you will read about how I became the quilter for Phyllis' quilt.
This quilt was absolutely a joy to quilt. I put way more quilting in it than necessary, as that is what Phyllis did to hers.
The only part that wasn't fun to quilt was the flame block!
My hubby isn't only a talented blacksmith, he's a template design maker. He made the template that I used in the solid yellow block.
The back is always fun to look at. So much detail in this one!
I spent a lot of quiet time quilting. Time I could reminisce and pray. I felt Phyllis was looking down on me.
In the end I know she was . . . look at how much thread I finished with. Just enough!
Rest in peace Phyllis.
Lovely quilting! Cheerful colors. Something about quilting and piecing that gives the heart and mind peace and freedom to think and consider and understand.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies in the loss of your friend's companionship.
The quilt is absolutely gorgeous! You did such a wonderful job.

I think it's the perfect amount of quilting. I love looking at the back--just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow could she not be smiling down at you? You did a wonderful job, and I bet you brought a smile to Tom's face as well. What a sweet thing to do for him. It's absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful, and the quilting is gorgeous too. Way to go BT on the template designs! I'm sure you enjoyed this, but kind of bittersweet. We have to meet Phyllis' husband sometime. -Tammy
