Karen was in a domestic goddess mode when she came home for Christmas. So I helped her put together this quilt for her sweet mother in law, Ludene Davis. Karen had the squares already cut out of old levi's - I think the squares were about 8 x 8 inch. She sewed a pocket on one of the squares, and made a little kerchief out of the back print and tucked it into the pocket. We had a great time visiting while she sewed and I ironed. Then after the top was done we hit the quilt shop to find the perfect backing and border.
Karen was probably thinking of this spot when she was driving through the freezing snow in Utah. This photo was taken in Newport Beach. Beautiful Place, Beautiful Daughter.
The photo doesn't show the pretty color of the border. It was tied with a sage green thread.
This is a closeup shot of the backing. I love the dot flowers. Believe it or not, the colors are really vibrant. It turned out darling and Ludene loved the quilt, almost as much as Karen loves Ludene....which is alot. Karen is so lucky to have a wonderful mother in law - Ludene is a Gem!
