July 1, 2012 I will try to make this the last of my quilt shots I put in the dailies - I know you all must be getting tired of them! I have been busy job hunting and other things, and haven't had time to take any photos for a while. I actually still need to process photos I took of my cousin's wedding the first weekend in May! This is another close up of my quilt that my mother made. The little pink flowers fabric was fabric that my mother made herself a set of babydoll pajamas when she was a teenager. And the green and white was fabric that was used to make my mother and her sister a skirt set back in the day. My entire quilt is full of family memories like that - my uncle's sun suit, Easter dresses from my mother and her sister, etc. The ebook quilt anthology will have a kind of memoir I wrote about the family stories behind the quilt. I'll post the link when it comes out if anyone is interested.

June 28, 2012 Backing & Edging This is a shot of the edging and backing from my treasured childhood quilt made by my mother. As I am now 49 and the quilt was made when I was almost 2, it has some age on it. The fabrics used on the quilt had mostly already seen one life. This edging and backing was made from animal feed sacks (my grandparents were farmers). I hope this image is used in the upcoming ebook quilt anthology that I am participating in.

June 27, 2012 This is another quilt square from my treasured childhood quilt made by my mother. As I am now 49 and the quilt was made when I was almost 2, it has some age on it. Additionally, the squares were made from fabrics that many of which had already seen one life. This square was probably from a remnant section of a fabric store that my mother and her grandmother used to frequent. It was the fabric from which dishtowels were made and used at my grandparents' house as my mother and her siblings were growing up. I hope this square is used in the upcoming ebook quilt anthology that I am participating in.
