Jelly Roll quilt and Marie Bostwick novel

my shadow!
When Kerry's Mum passed away her children wanted to get her fabric so she could make a quilt in memory of her Mum. So they popped along to The Country Yard as this is Kerry's 'local' . They bought a Jelly roll, sashing fabric and a pattern and gave it their Mum.
Pieced at a retreat last year and given to me before Christmas to quilt.( I had a big back log !)
I finished quilting yesterday and phoned Kerry to tell her her Mum's quilt was finished, turns out it would have been Kerry's Mum's birthday yesterday! I never knew, isn't the world a mysterious place sometimes.
 Kerry wanted me to quilt a similar style as this quilt. Hugs to you Kerry and I hope this quilt gives you warm thoughts of not only your Mum, but your thoughtful children also.

Second book in the series finished! I loved it and now have the third to read.

  4. As one of Kerry's children, thank you very much Leeanne, you have done a wonderful job! Any, what a crazy coincidence that you finished it on Grandma's birthday! Thank you :-)
