Shireley's quilts

My BIL sent me a couple of quilts that my sister had made, as her illness progressed.  This is a paper pieced cardinal that she made.  

And this is the whole wall hanging.  You can see that this must have been an early quilt for her, but along in her illness, too. She loved to sew, and told me to sew, sew, sew, while I am still able too. Sage advice!

I made this for her, and it was sent back to me.  She loved hummingbirds.  It is faded and has been well loved.  

Shireley made this quilt.  Paper pieced.  I am glad to have some of her work.  

You cannot see this, but this is a little quilt I sent to her...hand quilted hummingbirds.  I wish you could see it...I believe is is pre blog work from me.

 And I made some more hats!  More and more...it is fun to make a "garment!"

Just documenting the days...and you have a great day yourself!
