My Quilting Story--Part 4

So many of you left sweet comments about

Logan's Story,

My Mother's Story

and All parts of My Quilting story.

If you haven't read About my first Photo Quilt,

please take a moment to do so.

Thanks for all the nice comments and hugs and blessings.

I have really found a wonderful group of supportive,

caring friends in blogland!

After finishing my brothers quilt,

I decided to try my hand at regular piecing. 

Some of my favorite patterns were (are!)

 designs by M'Liss Rae Hawley

I made the following two quilts from her 

first Fat Quarter book:

I love them both so much.

They hang in my Creation Station for now.

I then went through a stage of loving wild, African prints.

I sold a beautiful, wild log cabin quilt at farmers market;

I sure wish I had photos of it.

(hmmm...I might just need to make another soon)

And here is an Egyptian quilt  

that I just mailed off to 

Margarets Hope Chest

When I met Jerry, 

I knew that my first quilt for him had to be a photo quilt.

You can read about that RIGHT HERE

I opened a store on Etsy a couple of years ago.

I was all prepared to settle in and sew sew sew for people.

God had other plans, as I found out I was expecting about a month later.

(SHOCK!!!!)

I spent a good deal of my pregnancy in bed,

but I was able to fill a few photo quilt orders.

Here are a few favorites:

This little girl was a Preemie. 

I got the photos of the net and her mom was very surprised!!

A HUGE Diamond anniversary quilt.

All the photos were black and white. 

Absolutely georgous!

An army quilt for a friend who was in the REAL

Black Hawk Down operation.

I have so many more that I could show you,

each with a story of their own!
