Sewing and Beyond with Mary Anne Ciccotelli

I was able to complete sewing the rod pocket and binding down on this quilt this week-end while attending the QPN conference. Many of the members of QPN really liked this quilt, but did not care for the name – Gift Bag Swap quilt. I have had Karen Dever appraise a few of my quilts and she strongly encouraged me to give this quilt a name more fitting the feeling is has. So, after giving this some thought, I have add Happy Memories to the quilt’s name. Happy Memories for a few reasons:
1. It reminds me of the happy times I had in participating in all the online quilting swaps.
2. It reminds me of going to Idaho to celebrate my mother’s life after her death.
3. It reminds me of going to Idaho to celebrate my father’s life after his death.
4. It reminds me of preparing for the QQQ 50 1/2 Birthday Celebration.
