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 #32 ~ Katie’s Rag Quilt 2002

Katie’s Rag Quilt 2002

I blogged about Katie and her first quilt here when she was just a baby in 1999.  This is 3-year-old Katie posing with her rag quilt in December 2002. 

I made several rag quilts as Christmas gifts for 2002, including this pink one for Katy—her favorite color—with her favorite Sesame Street character: Elmo! What a sweetheart!

DD was living with me when Katie was born, so I was by my daughter’s side for the actual birth.  And, when Katie came home from the hospital, I took care of her when DD was at work.  Needless to say, I became very attached to her, and it was heartbreaking when they all moved out of state.  I love all my grandchildren so much, but Katie remains the apple of my eye.
