My mother sews...her mother sews...it just makes sense that I sew...
Here is my mom's latest beautiful creation. It is a queen size comforter, for my nephew, made from flannels. If you click on it to enlarge, you can see it isn't quilted, but knotted. Knotting, like quilting, keeps the 3 layers together, otherwise, the middle layer of batting would shuffle around.
I've been working on a comforter for almost a year now. It is being made for a very special friend...and I know she is waiting so patiently for it. I'm in the knotting phase and it is a slow process since I must do it while sitting. Sitting isn't something that happens a whole lot around here. And, I can't leave it lay out to come back to it because I've got 3 monsters children that LOVE all things soft and big!
But it will be done soon, I promise Sharon! If I have but one goal for 2009, it is to finish this comforter! :-)

That quilt is beautiful!!!
Wish I knew how to do that.
I started a quilt with a friend in 1992, and it is still not finished. I am not kidding. So, you are doing better than me! :)
What a TREASURE! I love it.
