More 15th Ward Quilts
Texas Star
The quilter who pieced this quilt describes herself as a "beginner." She did a great job on a pretty difficult quilt for a beginner AND it is a birthday gift for a friend. Hopefully, she will have one done for herself soon! I loved the way this quilted up in feathers. If you zoom in on the star, the feathers start in the middle and radiate out to each point.

Springville Art Museum Entry
This is amazing enough to be the front of the quilt but this is "just" the back!!
Here is the amazing front. Not only is it striking and completely incredible--it was PERFECTLY pieced!! She is an amazingly accurate quilter with a great eye for color. What a treasure to own this tribute to President Hinckley!!

NOTE: It really makes a difference when you take a quilt top to a quilter if you take the time to stay stitch around the perimeter of the quilt to reduce stretching

Cool Story!!
On April 3rd of this year, I posted a quilt made by a Young Women's group for a former member of their group who was undergoing treatment for cancer. At the time, the cancer had spread and the girl was fighting with all she had. I have always wondered what happened to her and today I got news....
Her cancer, by some miracle, is in remission and she was able to participate in the Make a Wish Foundation. Her wish was to go to the set while they were filming Twilight. Not only did she get to hang out on the set, but they put her in the movie!!! She is the prom queen during the Prom scene. Now, I'm even more excited to see the movie. My girls all want to go to the midnight or 12:01 showing, so let me know if you'd like to join us!!
Hooray that modern medicine has given this fabulous girl another chance at life!!

Incredible Baby Quilts!!
This fish quilt was made by a Grandmother for a baby who is moving away soon. She always has me quilt "Grammy loves you" somewhere in the quilt.
Another Grandmother made this quilt for her granddaughter Olivia. I really love this pattern and thought it was especially perfect for this fabric!!
The mother who made this masterpiece is due in two weeks. It is such a unique and beautiful quilt--not to mention the fact that it is perfectly pieced!! This was fun to quilt
