As the packages came in I assembled, and waited. Thankfully the two week deadline worked out for Kim, the machine quilter. (She is working out of Quiltworks in Bend and I can recommend her) I was waiting for the mail lady to come on the last day. The quilt was going to the quilters no matter what.
The mail lady even came early bearing a package from Australia with a block, three flying geese sashing and 2 cornerstone blocks. I was so thrilled!! And as soon as I sewed them in I was on my way to the Bend to meet up with the quilter.
In my haste I made a little whoops with the backing. The quilter had to add the bottom gold cause it was too short! It looks good.
I had her do an all over pattern since it was such a busy quilt. It was perfect for all that piecing!
I sewed the binding down the evening I got the quilt back and packed it up to take to my dads and hand sew down.
These were taken at my dads house before packaging it up to send off the next morning. I did that before leaving town to head home so I could make sure it went out.
The quilt made it and I know it holds lots of prayers and healing rays. The way it all went together I know the stars are aligning to help her get over the hard knocks life is giving her now.
We love you, dear friend.
