AUNT HATTIE'S QUILT V2.0

My Aunt Hattie was one of 4 sisters who loved to quilt.

When I was about 12 she showed me how to tie this quilt.

I had no idea then what she gave me to my not yet know

quilting journey.

50 years later Hattie's quilt needed an update.

Sew I took it apart, tossed the nasty batting,

pieced together Quilters Dream batting pieces,

and bought a new blanket for the backing.

I found some suede yarn for re-tying it.

This baby is HUGE, the blanket is KING size.

And heavy, very heavy.

I pulled the blanket to the front

and machine stitched it down as a facing

and it was finished.

And someone is gonna be snuggly and warm this winter!

My son Eric was excited to hear I had saved Aunt Hattie's quilt.

He remembers snuggling under it as a kid.  

One day it will be his again.
