Graduation time again.
This year I have 2 grandchildren graduating from
High School
Spencer in Arkansas.
Kennedy in California.
Our Grandson, Spencer, will be graduating in May in Arkansas.
I decided to make him a Mountain Majesties Quilt.
This is the back of the quilt. I took leftovers from the front
and made a couple rows on the back.
Then I gathered bits and pieces of front fabrics,
sewed them together like a Mile a Minute quilt,
until I had the completed back.
I really love Fall colors so this is one of
my very favorite quilts.
This is the front of the quilt.
When Spencer was younger and they would come for a visit,
Spencer would always ask his Mom to drop him off
in the mountains and let him survive for 3 days
with just a sleeping bag and a knife.
She always said NO but he kept asking.
Another view of front and back together.
I have a Granddaughter, Kennedy, in California who will be graduating also.
She is a vibrant young woman.
These fabrics seem to represent her happy spirit very well.
This is my Granddaughter, Ellie. She is 8 years old.
When she spends the night at Grandma's house she always
likes to have a project to do.
This time it was a few weeks before St. Patrick's Day
so we made a wreath for their door.
We found green feather boas at the Dollar Store that
she weaved onto a wire wreath frame. Then
she glued gold coins and shamrocks around the circle.
Topped it off with a big bow and bells
hanging down the center.
We loved it!
And so did her Mom!
And there were stray green feathers floating around my house
after we were done.
We had lots of fun making it.
Happy Quilting! Lynda
