| This Story Quilt will be Called "HOME". I drew a picture on paper of our Child Rearing Home in K.C., Mo. then cut out pieces of different fabrics for the sizes I need like roof, house, windows and etc.and started pinning and basting them all in place on a piece of solid black material I'm in the process of hand sewing them all on now.. |
 |
| I first made all the little houses then frame or background for the quilt, and sewed the houses as a border around the quilt. The white paper figures are the family members; Maurice and I and our three boys( will have the cat and dog in it too). After I finish the house and get it sewn on the background I will start the same process with the people. |
 |
| I have been jotting down some "Home" quotes and think I will use the upper one by Oliver Wendall Holmes. (probably condensed). Will use yarn for the quote I imagine The Quilts are very time consuming. I could paint it as a picture faster, but I love creating with fabric also. "Variety is the spice of life" you know! |
