These are quilts from the closet and only a small representation of my quilting journey through time, thanks for coming along. Countless more quilts and wallhangings have been gifted through the years or currently hang on our walls and cover the beds and chairs in our home. I didn't keep a quilt journal, this will have to suffice; however, I will continue to document from this day forward.
Life is Good!

Congratulations for getting this far . . . SUCH a lot of work!
Re documenting the UFOs -- those are between you and your creative self. Go ahead and be ruthless - repurpose what you like and remove the rest. Times change and so can we!
Seeing the coffee cup quilt made me smile! That was the first time I met you...it was in the guild show at Salem College (my first show!) and it was my favorite!
:)
I've been looking at my sewing room and trying to figure out a way to re-organize. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow I have been away from your blog for a few days and look at all I have missed. I guess I think your starting picture of your closet looks good compared to my dissaray right now...but its inspiration to get on it for sure. Go Postal almost has the shelving in the storage room complete and then its my turn again in the sewing room. Love all the old quilts...
I'm so glad you did this. I'm happy for you and for all you friends & family to share in this. And then personally I have to say my experience of you - the person you are - is infused. I've learned so much more about you thru this series, Debbie. All the depth and love and expansive energy of Spirit that you are. I always knew that but it's infused!!!
Well it just keeps getting better and better!! Of course, I LOVE the Year of the Dog quilt... my favorite. I also love the coffee cup quilt and the signature quilt. They are all so pretty!
I am amazed at the collection and selection! Taking in all you have shared, I know I don't have even a fraction of that many quilts in my home.
Wow- so many beautiful quilts- you must be having a lot of fun organizing!
What a lovely collection of quilts you have and the memories of friends and times to go with them.
I think it's great that you've saved all of them. It's too bad hindsight is 20/20 because I now regret not saving a few that I let slip through my fingers.
