We are co-creating calendar quilts, where each of us works on a block of the month, then ships it half across the country to the other. When all 12 blocks are completed, each of us has the challenge of making a full quilt from the 12 blocks. This first one is mine, called Patriotic Pinwheel, and the second is hers called Summer Sun.
We are off to a good start with these blocks!
YAY!!
ReplyDeleteI selected the July theme because of my deep love for the 4th. My Daddy flew back to the states during WWII to meet Mother at Kansas City for a weekend pass. She took the train down from St. Paul. It was that weekend I was conceived. For some time in my life, I told people I was born on the 4th of July so the whole country could celebrate with me. I love the fireworks, the parades and picnics. Moving to CALI was different because here, there is a fear of fire so the fireworks are contained. In this small valley, we can see them from the end of our driveway, and I still love too oooh, and ahhhh and clap like crazy for the multi-sendoffs.
ReplyDeleteNice memories.
