Karen, a friend of Susan (my dog trainer and friend), had a mastectomy
and is starting chemo on Wednesday. I wanted to make her a quilt for
warmth while she receives her treatments. With the holidays, work and
my church commitments I have only 5-1/2 days to make this quilt- from
start to finish. These quilt-making days have been as long as 18
hours. Whew. Now I'm about to sandwich and pin baste. I have the
rest of today and tomorrow to quilt, bind and wash the quilt (I
smoke.... she doesn't). I was driving home from Christmas shopping and
the song "My Favorite Things" came on my truck radio. That was my
inspiration! Karen loves her two daughters, her church and home and
her little dog plus her yellow kayak, daffodils in the spring, S'Mores
and lighthouses. I got them all into the quilt. ;-) You can see it

Oh, a huge WELL DONE Leslie. That is fantastic. What a marvellous
effort. It will certainly be appreciated. I hope you get some good
'sleeps' before the family party.

It's FINISHED!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOO!!! And I'm only 50 minutes past
schedule. LOL Actually, don't be too impressed with the 5-1/2 day
time limit. The past few days have passed in a frantic blur. The only
two days I remember clearly is Thursday- I started at 8 a.m. Thursday
morning and finished sewing at 4:30 a.m. Friday morning. Since we are
having our family Christmas gathering on New Year's Day, I spent
Christmas day (Monday) from 8 a.m. until 5:10 a.m. Tuesday working on
the quilt. I slept until 9:30 this morning and then finished sewing
the binding on until 12:50 a.m. So, my "days" were equal to a "normal"
person's three or four days????? The finished quilt pics are up on the
same link.

I'm going to take the quilt to Susan for washing and then CRASH!!!

Love it, front and back! Great job, Leslie!

Where did you get that floral? It just happens that blue and yellow are my
favorite colors, I'd like to get some if it's still available online.

Carolyn-

I tried to email you about the fabric, but it bounced. I guess I'm not
so good at un-munging! ;-) Please email me at quilteacher at yahoo

Front is really delightful; back is a

OMG! I can't believe you did a TWO-SIDED quilt in such a short time--and
it's so wonderful! I bet Susan was thrilled to tears...

That is a wonderful, moving, loving quilt and how in the world did you
accomplish it? Good work and you brought me to tears.
