Harken back to earlier this year when we traveled home with The Traveling Flowers (also seen on the bottom of this post). The Traveling Flowers traveled with five companion flowers that included one for Quilt Diva Julie seen here. We had six rock flowers traveling home on this trip as well, including The Wandering Flowers which you can read about on MaryAnn’s blog here, here, here and here.
Enough of the flowers, on to quilt stuff! I started a new project.
You’ll notice it’s a pattern designed in honor of those touched by the 9-11 tragedy…….so for 15 years I’ve been “going to make this quilt”. It is my quilt to honor America’s 250th anniversary. Using something coming out of a tragedy for our country’s 250 anniversary may seem counterintuitive but my view is that I’m honoring America in all its history.

Oh that quilt is going to be gorgeous! I think it is a perfect quilt to honor our country's 250th anniversary.
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers and I hope they had a wonderful trip through the post office :) the quilt pattern looks great - good to see your face - I can now put a face to your name
ReplyDeleteJust look at that green door!! Those rock flowers are so cute. That will be a beautiful quilt to celebrate America.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers have to be a bit of a challenge to pack in a box. I have my fingers crossed that they will make it to Quilt Diva Julie in perfect condition! That quilt is going to be wonderful. I remember when a lot of quilt kits came out for the bi-centennial. I never bought one - I didn't have the money back then.
ReplyDeleteI still love my flowers -- they make me smile whenever I work at the pressing table. LOVE the way you decorated this latest wine box and good for you for starting that 15-years-of-thinking-about-it project!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your 9-11 quilt progress. Love the wandering flowers - mine are still blooming on the table outside my patio door. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out! And thanks for the second adventure with Chuck's flowers! I loved every about it...both times!
ReplyDeleteAnd she's off and running with quilts again! You go girl!
