When DGD told me she and her friend were moving back east, I wanted to give them something special for their new adventure. Of course, a special quilt would fit the bill!

Emily and Her Ombre HST Quilt |
Emily searched online and selected this free pattern. It is Ombre HST Quilt Pattern by Sarah Goer and was out of my comfort zone, but the half-square-triangle design was fairly easy. The instructions were also easy to follow. The fabrics are all KONA cotton and it was a fun quilt to make.
I gifted this to her on Christmas Day. Her smile and hugs were my rewards. I will miss her very much!

Patches of Life
And so ends another 10 years of quilting (2010-2019) with 40 quilt projects -- definitely not as productive as the previous 10 years but I'm happy to still be quilting. This also marks 11 years of retirement. Wow, time flies by too fast.
Of these 40 projects, I created and donated 13 charity quilts, mostly to Quilts for Kids. I sold 11 quilts and gifted 12 quilts to family and friends. The remaining four projects are in my personal collection.
My goal for the next decade is the same as it was in 2009. I hope the next 10 years still find me quilting and doing more advanced projects … I would like that very much!
