Guess there are lots of reasons to make a quilt: enamored with the fabric, the challenge of the pattern, celebrating a new baby or a "special" birthday or commemorating an event. I've made my share of quilts for all of the previously mentioned reasons, but this post is going to focus on a few of the commemorative quilts I've made.
Made this quilt for a friend's special birthday. Everyone at the party signed their name so she could wrap herself in their good wishes for years to come.
This technique also worked for a baby shower.....
And a close up of one of the blocks....
Now the little guy has a lasting keepsake of all those who came together to celebrate his coming into the world!
The latest commemorative quilt I made was for Love Apple Quilters 30th anniversary....

Each heart is named after a particular aspect of the guild that makes it so special. Both the appliques and the quilting are Love Apples. Was thrilled to find the fabric in the borders--they look like teeny-tiny love apples, too!
Commemorative Quilts are on
