Two are at quilt shop waiting to be quilted. I have the third top ready, just waiting for the batting which I ordered by mail. In the meantime, my sister has had some serious health problems, so I offered to sew her family quilt top. She has the picture blocks cut out and all the fabric strips cut too, shouldn't take long to sew it up.
When we get all the family quilts done, we re going to have a family gathering for all to see and update the kids, grand kids and now the great-grands on our families' histories.
I enjoyed making these tops, knowing we are preserving family history. I have some of my husband's family pics, but not enough to make a quilt. I spoke with his sister and asked if she could roundup enough pictures to make a family history quilt for my old boy's side of the family.
In the meantime, I am working on 2019 project 2, the blue willow plate quilt. This s a simple quilt, won't take long to sew.
Just a note, I am 80 years old, a cancer survivor. have all the aches and pains of old age, vision is not as good as it once was, but every day I open my eyes am happy. Never quilted until I was 74. Also working on a cookbook (my 6th)and going to estate sales and antique malls, maintaining a website and selling merchandise. Whew!....and when I retired I wondered what I would do with my time. Every day is a good day. Don't be afraid of old age, embrace it.
