I love meteor showers; something I miss most from living on the farm is the sky--morning, noon, and night. We had great sunrises and sunsets. I am amazed that I am able to enjoy the sunsets and sunrises in the city, but the night sky is paltry, and the meteor showers totally absent.
I made this quilt in 1994 when Andy was working in Atlanta during his sabbatical. Eve and Paul were 4 and 7, and I set up my machine in our bedroom and sewed after they went to bed. I call the border treatment "sprockets" because it looks like the edges of film. If you click on it, you can see that the borders are just a continuation of the center of the quilt--the whole quilt is 2 inch finished squares and half-square triangles.
I made a pair of these evening star quilts for their beds about the same time. They remain some of my favorite quilts. I haven't seen these quilts for a while, they were unearthed in a futile attempt to clean the attic.
You had these jewels hidden away in the attic? They're both really nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts. I agree with Elaine, you should not put these back in the attic.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts, especially the Meteor Shower with the blue and yellow!
ReplyDeleteI would love to find quilts like yours in my attic! Leave them out, they are to pretty to be hidden away!
ReplyDeleteLynn,
ReplyDeleteof course I recognize the second quilt because I was compelled to pretty much copy it for Luke! But I don't think I've ever seen Meteor Shower...I'm thinking I want to make that one, too:)It's beautiful!!
