Amy Morgan's Pinwheel Blocks Quilt 2012
Original design with Amy McKinley Morgan's (my mother-in-law) pinwheel blocks. There was a small amount of cotton blocks in an old top of Amy's, so I salvaged them and put them with the dark blue print we found in an old auction box of vintage cottons. The outer blue border fabric and the whites used are new. While working on it I remembered how she sat at her Necchi sewing machine pulling scraps out of a box on the floor cutting them into squares or triangles with a paper pattern with many straight pin holes and scissors. The Morgan family meets for Christmas each year for a pot luck meal, catching up with each other, and a gift exchange where it would be swapped many times. Since I could not decide who in the family should get the quilt I gave it as my gift. Amy's grand daughter, Cathey, finally got it, because she cried over it, she said.

I am so blessed to be the one who received this wonderful quilt, it was sewn partly by my beloved grandma Amy Morgan (she is with Jesus now, we miss you so much) and finished by my wonderful Momma Ruth Morgan, it is so beautiful and I am so overwhelmed with pride to have it in my presence. Thank u to all that made this possible. Love ALWAYS!!!!!
Mama's Day Lilies for Becky 2012
Edible Garden fabric by Stephanie Brandenburg for Frond Design Studios
Adapted from Sharon Guthrie's design, Guthrie Fabrics This quilt happened because my sister, Becky, told a lady who was knitting on of those beautiful long scarfs at the hospital I was making her a quilt. When I got back into my sewing room this fabric was on top of the pile, it reminds me so much of Mama's day lilies swaying in the summer sun that grew the length of the drive way I thought it would make a great quilt for her.
