Another Great Story

| | 0 comments

This quilt is dedicated to Michael, one of three young men that helped me on one hot summer day. My car stalled at the front of my apartment complex and refused to start again. As Michael, and his friend, passed by, they offered assistance.


Not only did he attempt to get my battery jumped, but he went and got a pickup truck in case he needed to pull the car across the complex.


As he, his friend, John, and another man, Damon, worked on fixing it, the sun continued to beat down on us. Once we knew it wouldn't move, these three men pushed the car more than two blocks to park it.


Michael, thank you for helping me at a time of great need. Your help will be remembered!


The quilt, while not finished, is in the works.

Log Cabin Heart Quilt

| | 0 comments

One of the most exciting moments in quilting occurs as a vision becomes reality in good fabric, with lots of TLC going into every minute of creating it.

The first quilt from Heart-to-Heart Quilts is dedicated to Jason. This young man took time from his work to assist an older, handicapped woman get home. She was loaded down with groceries and having a difficult time walking the last half mile. Jason provided a safe ride home. She and the groceries arrived in much better condition thanks to his kindness.

The quilt, a log cabin heart quilt, begins with this block:

Front of the block


Block back includes info, including: quilters name, DOB, quilt block title, and date created
Second block
Third block includes the pink heart and the background prints

Information on the back, identifying the third block

When finished, it will be presented to a baby girl that is in need of keeping warm this winter. Hopefully, the soft colors will keep the chill off and help her sleep snuggled in security.
