Skulls & Roses

This is a very simple two fabric quilt in a simple pattern.  I did not fussy cut the fabric because I couldn't decide if I should focus on the skulls or roses.  It ended up being a very dramatic quilt (if I may say so myself).  It was quilted by Shari Fisher.  This quilt was intended to be given away.  If I ever finish the binding on it - I will certainly give it to the intended recipient.

Antique Wedding Rings Quilt

This quilt was given to me by my Grandma.  It was her parents quilt that they received on their wedding day.  This quilt holds terrible memories for my Grandma and her family.  I'm actually surprised that it still exists.  My Grandma kept it in a plastic bag in a box for the last 50 years.  When I became interested in quilting about six and a half years ago - she dug through her basement and found it so she could give it to me.

I don't have the same negative feelings about this quilt that my Grandma does.  I keep it in my sewing room (with no windows) so I can see it when I work on my projects.  I hope that some of my quilts will hold memories for years to come.  Of course, I hope they are good memories.
