Quilting for Friends

I often wonder why I even have a blog anymore.  I hardly ever post (it's been months) and I've yet to figure out how to attach my custom domain (aquiltedpassion.com) to Blogger.  Alas, I'm here and there's no time like the present for an update. 

Most of my free time has been spent in the gardens. You can read about my gardening journey here,  here, and hereBe on the lookout for a gardening update in the near future!  But, I have done some sewing/quilting during the last several months.   

After I finished my Free Form Rail Fence in February I started working on a quilt for a dear friend. Her young adult daughter died unexpectedly and when I visited her I asked for some of her clothes to make a memory quilt for her. 

I used a woven Pellon interfacing to stabilize the fabrics as none of them were cotton. I added cotton setting triangles, sashing, and borders for added stability.  I adore all of the different florals together and love how the black cotton florals tie them all together. 



The other stitching I've been doing is quilting on Lucey.  I quilted two king size quilts for a couple of other dear friends in AZ. 

I used this same Floral Meander pantograph on both. 



Kelly made this beauty! And I just realized I didn't even take a photo after quilting it. 



 And Melinda made this beauty!





I'm really looking forward to quilting now that gardening season is wrapping up.

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time, Happy Stitching and God Bless.
