Quilt, Frogged and Re-Sandwiched

Hello again!

I started this quilt top years ago and recently decided to complete this a some other unfinished projects before I drown in them! Unfortunately, after doing all the quilting on my huge, wooden quilting rack it turned out terribly wonky. So after ripping out all the stitches (frogged), I sandwiched the layers. This picture was taken as most of the basting was completed (again). You can see the pins and the red thread with which I am also basting.

Hopefully, I will have this quilt hand quilted again, soon. I really liked the colors and the pattern. Let's hope it's still good after the quilting is done again. If not - FROGGED again!

Total quilt size is 64x80 inches.

Thank you for looking!

It Really Hurts.

I previously posted this quilt and the back-story about Mike, just a few posts ago...

Mike's life support was turned off today.

Ya know it's like a burning feeling, down deep inside the throat and stomach area.
It really hurts to lose such a wonderful guy. The world is a sadder place.

Rest in Peace Mike Mullen. Rest in peace.

Garden Fence Crazy Quilt

Hello again!

Just finished this quilting this patchwork crazy quilt. I started the top and started the quilting a few years ago but didn't get a chance to finish this until this year. Fun to do and I LOVE creating my own quilting templates.

Here's a picture of the flower template I used to create the quilting on this quilt.

Please visit my Facebook page, Leslie Pease Studios to see my latest work and thank you for stopping by.

For Mike

Hi everyone,

I write this with a heavy heart. I have been very close to my cousin all of my life and have always been amazed and impressed by her. In fact I idolized her when we were very little and still do very much today.

For a long time, her husband has been battling a kidney disease. A couple years ago, he was lucky to have a new kidney transplant. As with all transplants, nothing is a guarantee. Although the kidney has done well, the medications he took effected other parts, causing his body to slowly fail. Recently, he has taken a turn for the worse.

Ever since his recent hospital admission, (a month and a half ago) I started quilting this. After working on it every free minute (and even stealing time from other important things), I have had to send it out mostly but not completely finished. My cousin's husband is now heavily sedated to enable his body can work it's best but these days things are happening more quickly and I fear my vanity to finish this quilt was out-weighed by his failing health.

Here are some pics of the quilt. The lighting in the room was poor, but you can see the basic pattern of the blocks and quilting.

Please everyone keep my cousin and her husband in your hearts and prayers.

Thank you.

The stipple pattern was quilted on most of the blue blocks, but unfortunately the center blocks were not completed, as you can see in the picture above.
