A visit to a friends house.....

 
 
 
I stopped by my friend Leslie's house yesterday and was inspired.  Leslie gets more done in a day than anyone I know.....yesterday her grand daughters were coming for a sewing class.  How sweet is that?
 
 

 
She has just completed piecing my pattern called Center Stage in 2 color ways.  She said she enjoyed the one so much, that she decided to also make it in 30's.  What a difference, you might not notice that they are from the same pattern.
 


 
I'm not certain what happened here, but the sashing fabric is a wonderful blue and white stripe which we found on our trip to Pa.  The print in the corner square at the bottom on the picture is a feed sack, which I picked up on my travels across Nebraska.  I used to make that trip every summer when my children were young......we would spend time on the farm with family......Oh! the sweet, sweet memories.  Back to the above quilt, the center stage part looks like cheerful flowers.
 
 


 
 
Her little grandson has been asking her for the past while, "Nana, do you have my quilt made yet?".......so this is a quilt for him.
 His mother helped in picking out the fabric.....a clean and simple look.
 
 

 
 
And Leslie has the binding all ready to go.......another bargain fabric we purchased on our trip.  It will really set the quilt off nicely.

Hope you have a week end filled with sunshine, family and all that is good.  :-))

    1. Leslie is up early and accomplishes much that is for certain. Plus she has time for all of the people in her life. She is inspirational.
