Posting again

After year's hiatus, I decided it's time to start posting again, though I haven't done much quilting yet...too many history/writing projects. Last summer the Blanding Quilt guild invited the Ganado ladies to come to a weekend workshop. At that time we showed the beautiful memory quilt them made for us when we finished up our mission to Ganado. Alta Wauneka, and Farah Tsosie were the two main masterminds though many others helped. Rachelle Chung also came up to make quilts with us. We had a great time.

Wedding Quilts

Over the past 20 years I've made many quilts for weddings, starting with my own children, and then for extended family and friends. Here are some of the ones I've made. This Cheater Quilt (printed fabric to look like it's pieced) was made for Brian and Susie Bayles. I'll always remember the evening that Suzie's family and Brian came over to help tie it. There were at least 4 guys who had never tied before. There was some wild stitching going on! Afterward I spent several hours, redoing the tangeled threads on the back, and removing strange stitches. But the fun was worth it!!
