This is a photo of the quilt I worked on at our 2021 Fall Quilt Retreat. I haven't attended since then due to the retreat logistics, work, etc.
But, it is that time of year again, and I'm retired now (for the most part), so off I go! Our fearless quilt-group leader has scouted out a new retreat that is all on one level, so no pesky stairs to maneuver. Yay!
What am I taking to work on this year? You're lookin' at it! I will take this again, and may work on it only. Someday I will get it finished. I only promised it to someone 24 years ago!
This quilt top was made by the grandmother of my bestest childhood friend, and when we attended her 25th anniversary and vow renewal in November of 2000, she took me into a spare bedroom and handed me the top, saying I was the only person she knew who would know anything about finishing it.
Oh, how I LOOONNNGGGGG for the day I can hand it back to her done, and not have it on my conscience any longer! On the other hand, I absolutely adore the bow-tie pattern and working on it. It's very difficult to hand quilt at home, because I don't want Rudy under my feet and laying on the corners, etc.
I'll be back in a few days...hopefully with some progress to show!

Hope you make a lot of progress! How old was the quilt top when it was passed on to you?
ReplyDeleteI did make some good progress on the quilt, and I also got the binding done on a table runner. That's not a lot compared to people sitting around me, but I took reading breaks that they didn't. ;)
