Before There Was...

I finished quilting this for my Mom over the weekend, she has entitled this one: "Before There Was Color", it's a cute throw-sized quilt; it quilted up easily. I tried out a new pantograph that I recently bought from Willowleaf Studios, "Let's Have A Party" by Timeless Quilting. 
It was quick and fun to do, I'll definitely be using this panto again soon. I need to cut some binding strips for this quilt today. My Mom and Dad are arriving for a visit , I know she'll enjoy the hand work finishing this quilt while she's here. If my blog posts are rare or erratic over the next few weeks that will explain why.

Continuing on the "Before There Was..." theme: you might remember that I  have been documenting and organizing photographs for my parents. This picture was among the stacks, it happens to be approxiamtely sixty years old.
Before there was Mrs. Goodneedle, there was baby Goodneedle!
She was a healthy little girl.
Life is Good!

Very nice. I have a black and white quilt waiting to be put on the frame. And I have more black and white fabric for another quilt.I wonder how that happened?

What a beautiful picture of baby Goodneedle! :-) Approx. what size did your mom cut her 'bricks'. Looks like a nice project for a donation quilt. Have fun with them!!

Clever name for your Mom's quilt. I want to make a brick quilt, too. Love the look.
What a sweet little girl. Couldn't help glancing over to the photos of the grandchildren and seeing some definite resemblances. : )
