My Family Album Quilt
I am so excited to share this with you all. I did my first photo transfer quilt for my Mamaw's 80th birthday next weekend (Valentine's). I am in the quilting stage now. I cannot wait for the final product. Everyone who has seen it has oohed and aahed over it. I have only been quilting for 2-1/2 years so this is indeed a great flattery for me. Tell me what you think. By the way, it wasn't hard, just time consuming.

Janice, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing what you did with the
pictures, as I'm in the planning stages of the same kind of quilt right now. I really like your color combinations and the layout.

That looks great! Are the people identified on the quilt? If not, consider a
"map" listing everyone by name and date of birth, relationship to your Mamaw, and inserting it in a pocket behind the label. That way, years from now, your descendants will still be able to figure out who everyone is! :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Janice Davis" wrote in message news:nrQTb.11056$Ii2.8171@lakeread03...

Great job! I love the way the pictures are part of pieced blocks and
that they still remain the "focus" of the quilt. I am sure she will love it  Julie Richmond, VA said... I am so excited to share this with you all.

Thanks for the idea. It's a little too late for "pockets," but I have a
fabric pen and mayhap write everyone's name on the back of the quilt. Thank you to all of you! I am sure you all realize how hard it is to see your own finished product as beautiful when you can see all the flaws! ;o) Janice "frood" wrote in message . com... That looks great!

Thanks, Diana. FEI, I got the patterns out of Better Homes and Garden's 101
Full Size Blocks and Borders. I learned a lot of things from this one. Does anyone ever get to a point where they know everything about quilting ;o) It's hard to believe I was once afraid of a sewing machine, if weren't for my kids and school, I would be on it all day *chuckle* Janice "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...
