Here is the finished photo of the Bucilla Alphabet quilt from the late 60's kit. When digging through my UFO's, this finished quilt was still safely stored away... Unphotographed and forgotten. The stitching was created with the original floss that came with the quilt. I feel a great sense of accomplishment, when looking back over this quilt. Oddly enough right after my discovery, my daughter in law reminded me the quilt's little recipient was waiting to get it! Yep... Our first grandchild. :)
I am going to sit today and stitch his name on the corner square and mine in the other. Just like my sister's quilt my Mom made for her... Would it be impolite of me to say how many years ago. lol It would probably make her quilt an antique! I can make that joke, since I am 5 years older. :)
It is amazing the items found when you do a thorough reorganization of a house and studio. Kinda funny really. Disorganization stifles my artistic pursuits of every kind. The last few years of my life have seen me just getting by with quick pick ups. Now my house is in place and so are my thoughts. On to the next project!
