Lesson learned with wool batting…Wilma and I finished hand quilting this in 2019. Is was lovely!
Unfortunately the quilt was soiled and required washing. To hasten the drying, I put it in the dryer and felted it.
Had to take out millions of hand stitches and bitty threads! Elisa Corcoran requilted by machine 2023.

New Bernina 790! Starting efforts learning to machine quilt, made these doll quilts, Jacquie Gering walking technique. These were made to go with the wool felt dolls I made, using “Luna Lapin Making New Friends” by Sarah Peel. Here is Luna the rabbit, Owen the squirrel, and Daisy the lamb. They are about 15” tall. Hand stitched bodies, sewn clothes.

I wish I could say I pieced these blocks but I actually bought an unfinished top at the MPS silent auction last August. Unbeknownst to me, the top was made by my good friend Vivienne Moore! She had donated it to the auction through two MPS members who are also friends of hers. Lucky me! I added a wide border and had it quilted with a lovely edge-to-edge feather motif.

I won some of these fabrics at “Inspirations” in April. While browsing on Pinterest I saw the pattern referred to above. I used it as inspiration and changed it. I drew the pathway and think of it as life’s path. The horizontal pieces became hurdles and ladders while the colors are for bright or sometimes challenging times in life. The quilting accentuates the design.
