And we had a trunk show of her work. She was adept at pulling colors together to make a beautiful visual impact. She was an excellent seamstress and she created beautiful quilts with fairly detailed blocks. She liked trying new things, new combinations. And she always participated in challenges and classes in several guilds.
The family asked if the guild could finish the quilts and hold a sale of her fabrics and notions. That is scheduled for Sept 30, 2017. Hopefully I can get there to get some good deals.
Joni was able to buy Debbie's Avante and has quilted the 23 quilts she brought to the meeting. I took two baby quilts home to finish sewing the binding.Debbie had 5 boys and a girl, 2 of whom are still living at home. Her daughter is pregnant, due in a couple months. Just having been there for the birth of my own grandchild, I really felt for her not having her mom there for her.
Now that makes me want to go in and finish some quilts! I need to make some sort of deal with myself. I need to finish two for every one I make, and finish that one too!
Or maybe finish three for each new one.........Joni challenged us with the question:
What would your guild have to finish for you if you left this earthly plane too soon?
And when I watch My 600 Lb Life I want to go work out!
I seem to have a lot of things to fix.
