Sister's Weekend-2010

It has been awhile, but I wanted to share our sister's weekend quilt blocks and some pictures of the event.

I think we all had fun just relaxing, eating, visiting, and being silly. We missed Lonita this year and welcomed the newest member Allison, Michael's wife. I hope she wasn't too overwhelmed by the girls.

I was so proud, each sister brought eight 12x12 inch quilt squares. That is a lot of squares. Lonita had hers made by Donna. Her blocks have cows in her design, which is so appropriate for Iowa. Krissie made hers after arriving. I was jealous hers were made so fast. I can't tell you how much I love all the squares.

Donna has homes and a heart on her block. Jeni has triangles with hedgehogs, flowers, and mushrooms. Suzanne has a sunbonnet girl in a flower dress on a hot pink background. Lonita has cows with brown triangles. Her dad has a farm in Iowa with cows and corn. Her block was so "on spot" for Iowa. Sally has orange flowers with a chicken in the middle. Allison has green triangles with blue flowers on a tan background. Krissie, our non-sewer, has 3 large circles of orange, brown and teal on a background of dark brown. I was blown away how chic it looks. I love roosters, so I put a rooster in the middle of the square with red, blue, yellow and green around him. I had a different rooster for each square.

Jeni had her quilt done before she left for home. I'm sewing Lonita's and Krissie's quilt together, I just have the top done so far. Life seemed to get in the way of finishing it, but that will happen this summer. Summer starts this week. I can hardly wait to see the finished product.

Lonita's Quilt Top - It may all get done someday!

Krissie's Quilt Top - Just be patient!
