another graduation quilt in the IRISH CHAIN pattern

I had been asked by Sonja if I could make a graduation for her best friend Amy as well, since she too would be graduating from high school in 1995 with Sonja. I felt like I knew what mistakes I had made and welcomed the chance to make another quilt in the same pattern. So I took Amy to the fabric store and had her pick out fabrics for her quilt. She chose beautiful deep and rich colors of turquoise, purple and black fabrics. I was excited to make this quilt and was going ot work very hard ot match seams and corners and make this beautifully. Hm I seem to have forgotten how ot add photos to this blog... I may have ot ask Mindy since it seems this isn't downloading right. I have been away from it too long, so have forgotten much about creating blogs, forgive me. I will get it figured out again and find my stride on this blog again... Bless my brain!

Mindy's first quilt 1995 summer

Mindy had been watching my quilting progress and kept asking questions and seemed like she really wanted to make one of her own during a school break so I let her pick her class, the SPLIT RAIL quilt in a lap size for her to make. I decided that while she was making hers, that I would take another class myself, to learn a new pattern as well. BUT her class was still months away. In the time between my last quilt class and this one of Mindy's and my next one in the summer, I wanted to make other quilts and keep the repetition thing going.

life happens lol

I can't believe that I have forgotten I had started this blog last year. So much has happened and yet now I feel I must get back to working on my quilting blog in between enjoying my new home in a new state. I put my house on the market in June 2010 and had to move to Oregon faster than I thought I would, leaving my house on the market but empty. It looks like I have a buyer now though and will close on that colorado chapter of life as I begin this one here on the coast of Oregon. I've unpacked my quilt pictures and will get organzied and get things rolling again on here, and in my quilt room as well! Life got in the way of my working on this, lets hope I can keep things more under control now lol!
