Now that I actually started digging through the pile here in the living room that got dumped when I got back from Christmas, I uncovered my best Christmas present to show off. This quilt was made by my aunt Butchy. Her name was really Ellen but I didn’t know that for years and I never knew why she was called Butchy. No it wasn’t the obvious reason 😀 She was a sweet and funny woman. She made beautiful quilts, lots of them and my dad kindly gave all of my brothers one before he died. Well, my mom gave me this last one this Christmas. It’s not done, it’s only the top but hopefully I can do justice finishing it up. Is it not gorgeous? 😉
It is lovely. I used to quilt. I even made some log cabins with yellow centers. I remember the red or yellow centers stand for the hearth, the heart of the home.
Fabulous!
I have made a couple of quilts too but it’s been a long time. I love this, looks better than mine did.
Yes! It IS gorgeous. Not only the quilt top, but the story behind it. Beautiful people in our lives is the BEST art…

I agree Barb. I miss her.
