Quilts



My sister Jan and I are into making quilts. We love making them! We have made a lot of quilts in the past but now we are getting into the art of it. As we are making them we feel that we become a part of each quilt. When the quilt is done its hard to part with it because you have grown to love and hate it with every stitch. We hope that the receiver of the quilt will learn to love the quilt as we have.

It fun working with quilt makers, learning new tricks, trading secrets, and sharing stories. In 2007 we made a "sister" quilt. The sister got together to cut, blocks and trade them. I decided to put mine together as a rag quilt.

Jan and I just finished making a TShirt quilt . This quilt was for Jan's son Dustin. Jan had saved all of Dustins TShirts, so it was full of fun memories.
