This past week, I gifted the quilt to Claire, so I wanted to show you the final product…..
There are still a couple of stories to tell about this one, and those will come in the next two weeks!
I had so much fun working on this quilt and remembering the 9-year-old who I would pick up from school one day a week, and we would spend a couple of hours quilting together.
She would always be starving and loved a warmed tortilla with spicy pimento cheese. I think of her EVERYTIME I pop a tortilla into the microwave to warm!!
I loved watching her pick fabrics…..
and make quilts….mostly to be given to her family and friends!
She was a quick learner….
…and had a great creative spirit.
This was the last quilt that we made together in 2019…..
….a Christmas gift for her Mom.
And here she is today…..
A beautiful young woman with a sweet, Godly spirit and a BOATLOAD of possibilities ahead of her!!
On one of our sewing days, she was working on something over in the corner, and I found this the next day….
It brought a smile to my face at the time, just as my memory of our time together does now!!
Go Claire…..GO!!!!!
