I met a fellow quilter, Mary during a class I took at my local quilt shop, Coins and Quilts. There were only 5 of us in the class so we all got to know each other pretty well. Over the past two years, three of us that attended that class still get together and go to quilt shows together. Mary is starting to feel her age at 76, I would have never guessed. I thought she was in her 60's. She still works at the Polish Community Center part-time. She preps for banquet dinners and even tends bar there. I'm not her age yet and I already know I don't want to work that hard when I'm in my 70's.
Mary is starting to slow down a little bit. She recently decided to clean out her quilt fabric and unfinished projects. She gave me a half-finished bright colored quilt and asked if I would like to complete it then donate it to my Quilts for Kids group. I happily accepted. All the squares for the quilt were placed in a specific order and half of them were sewn into rows so this was pretty easy to complete. I added a flannel backing from my stash and made the binding from other fabric that Mary had given me. The quilt pattern is called Square Pegs and I think I will use it again. I am happy to show off the results here!
