One of my dear friends who was an artist, a quilter and a teacher passed away last month. She was a great friend and teacher. She had lived a full life as a mother, a grandmother, a quilter and a teacher. Her quilts had been accepted to many shows. So many people had taken her classes and learned from her, me included. She had wealth of knowledge to share and she did so freely. I love her.
I'm honored that the family has asked me to finish her last quilt top in the picture below as I got it.
Some rolls were done already. I need to make 2 more blocks and finish piecing all the blocks together, which that's what I did last week. Here's the final layout of the top.
Next will be connecting all rolls together. I'm planning to add some borders to make the top a bit bigger.
Here's what on my design wall and what I'm working on this week.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the loss of your quilt friend, Margo. What an adorable quilt you're finishing in her honor!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get the opportunity to honor your friend and mentor! So very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and appropriate tribute for your friend and mentor. Wishing you peace in this time of loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for the loss of your dear friend, and the completion of her unfinished project is a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to her. I hope it helps you get over the grief.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this memory and tribute.
Your friend had a great taste in design. I think this is a lovely pattern, as well as pretty colors. How nice of you to finish it for her. It makes me wonder if someone will do that for me one day, after I'm gone. Right now it would take about 12 friends to finish my quilts! This is a good reminder to prioritize finishing WIPs and UFOs.
