A couple years ago, my cousins asked me if I would help them out by finishing some quilt tops that my Great-Aunt Jo had started before she passed away. I was honored to do it. Isn’t this a lovely stack of finished quilts? First up was a set of embroidered blocks that Aunt Jo had […]

It seems like eons ago that I pieced a couple of quilt tops for Amy Ellis for her new book. It’s excruciating to wait for all the work you’ve done to finally show up in print. But it’s all worth it in the end when you get to hold the fruits of your labor in […]

Sunbonnet Babies

Posted on February 10, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in People, Quilts

I recently had the honor of quilting a very special quilt. I met Barb Owen last November, when she attended a retreat that I was also attending. She was there working feverishly on a Sunbonnet Babies quilt for her granddaughter, Kristi. Seems there’s a tradition in Barb’s family of all the girls receiving Sunbonnet Babies […]
