FriYay

Last weekend was so busy!
Here's the two Quilts I didn't get in my
 FriYay post last week.
4 Patch Trip
Purple Passion!
Didn't make a dent in the Stash.. 

Let Freedom Ring
My version of eddie's pattern for MSQC. 
It took a while but I got it done just in time 
to turn it inon Thursday. 

I used some of my Purple Stash to make Easter dresses for Dan's daughters.
This one is for the 4 year old.

The 11 year old wanted the bigger floral. 
I added a band around the hem to finish it faster.
I volunteered to make these to test what size to use for the dresses I am making for the Wedding.

On Sunday after our YSA meeting I delivered this.
It looks like it belongs!

Also Sunday evening was the Lamb of God at the University Church.
A great way to spend Palm Sunday.

My girls that came and saw all my Quilts!
So glad NaDell knows me and likes to take pictures of me with my Quilts.

Abby with her creation from Grandma Quilt Camp 
last Spring Break. 

The Wedding Quilt!
"Hearth and Whisper"
With my Oldest Granddaughter.
So glad it was finished before the baby and the
 first Anniversary came.

Required photo with Robin Long.
This is one Quilt in my UFO room that needs to
 get worked on and not be in time out.

So many more pictures and stories to tell. 
The 2026 Tri-City Quilters Show is in the books!
Next year it's in a New location. 

It's Good Friday now and Sunday will come.
