Emily’s Quilt

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

A few years ago (approx. 2000-2001) I took scraps from a wedding gift Emily and I had made and cut out this sampler quilt for her.  She decided that she would use it as a wedding gift and brought it to New York to finish.

Here are blocks laid out and we are determining the layout.

Emily marking where the blocks  belong in the layout.


Here is the quilt with the borders.  I like the way we floated the blocks all the way around.
Completed and just needs a label  (Don’t forgoet to label your work.)

Happy Quilting!!!!!

This is one of the projects that I am working on right now.
The Stone’s will be released from being temple president and matron at the end of the month, and I have always wanted to make her a quilt. So now is the time. One time when I was talking to her she said that she would love to have an Autumn wallhanging. So, hopefully she will like this.
(Left): Border (darker) w/leaves
(Right): Border (lighter) w/o leaves
Which border do you like the best?
I am using silk leaves for the “Falling Leaves”.

On Sept. 20 Autumn and I flew back to New York. She was here with Grandpa and Grandma for six days. We kept pretty busy. Following are some pictures of some of the things we did.

I love being a Grandma!

One day Tom took the day off work and we went to the Bronx Zoo.

I always love seeing the monkeys. I think they are so cute.

We had our own monkey with us at the zoo.

Feeding the Sea Lions
That is the cutest prairie dog’s head I have ever seen!


I think Grandma is almost to big for this slide, but Autumn didn’t want to go down alone.

Have you ever seen a turtle like this?
Or this?

Autumn feeding a goat in the Children’s Zoo.
Autumn wanted leave the Children’s Zoo because she wanted to eat her treats but there was no food allowed in this area of the zoo.
Also, she didn’t like the animals licking her hand.(See how she is wiping off her hand on her pants.)

The BUG carousel

Autumn choose this butterfly bench to ride on.
