other quilt

This is the other quilt that I made for Christmas for our friends Bob and Katy. Bob and Katy are the kind of people that let your whole family move in with them because times are tough. I know this because, well, times are tough. They are kind and giving and loving and patient. Ah, patience. You would think all us quilters would be patient, but alas. Sometimes, not so much.

Anyway, I put the whole thing together with the reproduction prints. Big squares that were bright and pretty. And then I just stared at it and though, this looks NOTHING like Bob and Katy. So I grabbed patches of every crazy fabric I could find, embroidered a couple words, top stitched the whole thing with patches all over and thought, there, that is better.

I think they loved it. Bob shows it to everyone who walks in the front door. I know this because, well, I sit by the front door while I type on the computer, put together quilt squares, and balance the check book.
Patient, loving friends.
