I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilt #8 ~ Sarah’s Quilt 2001

Sarah’s Quilt 2001

I originally saw this pattern as a finished quilt during the 2000 Southern California Quilters’ Run. I fell in love with it and bought the kit.  When I finally finished it in September 2001, I put it away intending to display it for Halloween.

Several months later, in February 2002, my Goddaughter, Sarah, came to visit me. I had not seen her for about five years—since I moved to Corona—and I was thrilled to see her again. She spent the day with me; and before she went home, I told her she could have a quilt. She looked through my finished quilts and immediately picked this bright-colored Halloween quilt. I hope she remembers this day every time she sees her quilt.

I hope that Sarah continues to visit me and that we become close. She is so much fun … and I love her very much!
