Love All Around

It took me about 18 years to complete this quilt I named "Love All Around."
I handpieced all the blocks while on family vacations, retreats, and basketball and volleyball away tournaments. This quilt is about as well traveled as I am! I started this quilt before Jessica was born, intending to use it on Michaele's "big girl bed" when she was ready for it. It went from being a twin size to a full size and then to a queen size as I changed my mind thru the years as to what bed it would end up on. It is now used as my summer quilt on my antique queen bed. I had the quilt quilted by Jenny Michael.

I have made 2 matching pillow shams and a throw pillow.

About Me

My photo
Nancy
I was married to Chris for 42 years before he passed away April 20, 2023. I have two beautiful daughters, Michaele and Jessica. Michaele is married to Matt and they have given me two grandsons, Hudson born in 2014 and Jase born in 2016. They reside in Boise, ID. Jessica is married to Clayton and now resides in Richardson, Texas. They have a son, Oliver (2019) and a daughter, Emmaline (2021). I used to be a registered dietitian, but now am a fulltime homemaker. I learned to sew in 7th grade. My mother told me she would buy me all the fabric I wanted if I would wear what I sewed. I made most of my clothing thru high school. I made my first quilt in high school along with other teen girls from my church to give to a missionary. I made my second solo quilt while in college. I became more interested in quilting after my marriage and have been making several quilts each year since the early 80's. I am a member of the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild in Georgetown, TX.
