3 from Lindsay


Lindsay is a "new to me" customer, referred by Elaine.  She is a delightful lady, and we had a nice visit talking about these quilts.  The first one here is on that she started to hand quilt for her daughter.  Based on the artwork, it was in celebration of her daughter's 16th birthday, and her friends were hopeful that she'd get a car.    Nearly all the blocks have some representation or mention of a car.  The most "historical" one for me is the one at the top right of the page.  Drawing of a fish, but with an oversized fin in the foredground.  Seems that the girls were eating pizza and had been sworn to not spill on the quilt.  Of course, that's what happened, so the "fin" is actually a stain from pizza.  A part of the quilt's history.
Lindsay got everything but the outer border quilted, all by hand, and asked me to just finish that and make a binding for her to finish off.






This is a small table topper quilt.  You don't realize how small it is until you see the lower photo with a bit of my thumb holding the binding open.  Quilted with crosshatching through those little blocks, and then feathers in the outer border.
