Wow, it has been awhile since I sat down to add to this site. Hello friends! How are you? A couple of fun things have happened in my quilt journey over the last few years, and I will be posting about them shortly.

My aunt Kathy texted me a year or two ago asking if I would like a quilt top that she received around the time of her wedding. It is a star quilt, brown with a white background. I asked if she wanted me to finish it for her, and she said I could just have it if I wanted to finish it. Naturally I did! I asked if she could remember who made the quilt, and she couldn’t remember.

My parents divorced when I was 9 years old, and my mom’s mother was a very accomplished quilter. She made a star quilt for each of her grandchildren, and I have a pink and green one from her. She hand quilted it, and it is a treasure to me for that reason. Aunt Kathy is married to my dad’s brother, Todd. This mystery quilt makes me wonder if my dad’s mom commissioned the top from my mom’s mom. I don’t know if either grandma made it, but I like to think it may have been made by one or commissioned by one of them.

I finished it last year, and it won people’s choice at the 4th of July Toquerville quilt display. That made me feel so good! Here is a little picture of how it looked when it was almost done.
