Sisterly Love

I was just uploading some photos and ran across these from August. This is a close up detail of the quilting on a wallhanging I made for my sister's birthday. Her roomate agreed to pack it in his suitcase and present it to her on her birthday for me. She loved it and has it hanging on her wall in California.

I bought this as a kit from the Sewing Expo I attended with my aunt just before I moved to Alaska. I also bought a kit to make a quilt for my mom, but I took two others with me to make her and I'm not done with them yet so I haven't gotten to it. One is close though, I press another piece for applique every night.

Here is a view of the back. The quilting was done by my dear accomplice in stitching, Jeanne. She owned the quilt shop on the island. And the cafe. They live nearby now, but I manage to not call them enough. She also quilted a queen size quilt for my sister (pictures are MIA) and one for my aunt (also MIA pictures), and a smaller quilt for my niece (you guessed, MIA pictures, though I have faith my girlfriend who lives near her will get some for me). And she did a couple for me, the animal print one I discussed in an earlier post, and one that is patiently waiting for me to go buy some binding. That one I started in Idaho. Anyone remember back when I lived in Idaho?
