What a wonderful way to memoralize loved ones. You have sparked an idea in me. Thank you.

Very beautiful! And such wonderful memories attached to it. How long have you been quilting?

I have been quilting now for just about 3 yrs now. I started with a cheater panel, and then jumped off into a sunbonnet sue for a very special granddaughter that was on the way. She is now 2 yrs and 3 months.
I always had the desire to quilt..but didn't know how..and didn't really think I could do it. But, I have discovered, that I CAN and I love it. My kids are all grown and gone..and my job only takes about 1/2 a day, and I am divorced. So, I finally have found my passion, at 53 yrs of age, and have the time to do it.

Glad you have found your passion. You clearly are good at it! I am a beginning quilter and am enjoying it. So far I have made a doll bed quilt and a crib quilt for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. I've started two tabletopper projects but had to put them on hold to grab some sun in a warmer climate!

That's fantastic. I love the scenery and applique quilts and have a bunch of ideas floating in my head just busting to get out. :idea: No wonder my heads been aching.

Well, if your new at this I'll be Damned you have done such a wonderful job that I'm still in AUh I'm new at this and still only doing squares :shock: The black birds I would really and I highly suggest that you enter it in a quilt show since it is so stunning. The rest are GREAT TOO but for some reason the black birds just HOLLARS at me.

What a wonderful job you should pat your self on the back.
