More Odds & Ends from Mom

Well, I lied last week when I said I had shown you the last of Mom’s UFO stash I found while cleaning out her house some 10 years ago.

I had forgotten about these….

I recognize the pineapple from a Christmas quilt that she made, and the butterfly was left over from a couple of Butterfly Quilts, but the rest are a mystery.

And an equal mystery is what I want to do with them!!

This pieced-and-embroidered block is sweet…

….and it would be fun to add some borders and turn it into a pillow.

I think that I might just frame this small embroidery piece….

It would be a great addition to my spring decorating….

HMMM… since I will be doing that decorating in the next two weeks, maybe I need to get on this right now!!

Then there is this block…..

I have no idea whether this was something Mom made or Granny made.

But, I have an idea of what to do with it.

A few years ago, Kathleen Rountree spoke at our guild. Her specialty was making whole-cloth quilts from vintage linens…. something like this…

Wouldn’t it be fun to use that block as the centerpiece of a whole-cloth quilt and add tons of quilting around it?

It would take some thinking and time to design, but it is definitely going on the “to-be-done” list!!

So, I think that is about it for Mom’s UFO’s.

I have found it super helpful to write about them here and am thankful for all of your comments and suggestions.

What this series REALLY means is that I have a few more items to add to my To-Do list and a few items that no long exist in my UFO box!!

A Win-Win!!

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.
