Quilting

Our oldest daughter made me a really cool quilt for my birthday. She brought it up last weekend to tease me I think. I say that because she took it back home with her. She wasn't quite done sewing the binding which she does by hand. It is a very neat pattern and she used dragonfly material. (I like dragonfllies, if you didn't guess.) Each of the squares on the front is a different dragonfly print. Just finding so many different materials must have been a challenge. I can't wait for her to finish her latest creation!! This is the second quilt she has made for us. The first is huge and she made it for our anniversary. She has been taught to quilt by her mother-in-law who seems to be a master quilter. She makes quilts that are much sought after and very beautiful. Our daughter is very ambitious, very creative, very giving and appears to be a fast learner when it comes to quilting.
I think it would be fun to invite a bunch of quilters to stay in the guest house so they could bond and quilt all weekend.
(I'll try to remember to post a photo of my new quilt when I get it.)
