Emily the Quilter
Everyone needs a good quilting buddy.....well I have a great one! This is my granddaughter, Emily, and me. I started emily working with needle and thread when she was around 8, she is now 17. She made a simple block, made by hand. The stitches were huge and it was a little crooked, but i was very proud of her. She has come a long way since then. She's made about 13 quilts, from traditional piecing to a 70's looking raggy, that's she's hauled all over with her.
This picture is actually from Emily's 17th birthday dinner on Jan 6th, 2010.
This is the latest quilt Emily made. She just loved the wild colors and prints and just started cutting sqaures and sewing blocks. She absolutely loves it and sleeps with it every night.
We didnt know what to do with the back, so we just took her left overs and did big long strips. I think it turned out awesome and really turned out cool. Really shows off the quilting too. I did the quilting on my longarm machine.
I love the colors and I like the front as much as the back!!
