A tribute to "My Mother"

By Corrine Zummo, Oneonta, New York

My mother was my hero.  She was talented, strong, beautiful and funny.  She was a seamstress; I was her baby.  I grew up under the flip-up table of her Singer sewing machine with small pieces of fabric, thread, needles and little scissors. She had a beautiful voice; she put herself through nurses' training by singing in night clubs in the Albany area in the early 50's.  Blue was her favorite color; the color of her eyes and my sister's eyes.  My sister pre-deceased her by a decade due to AIDS related complications.  This then became another of my mother's causes.  My mother was a very spiritual woman.  Her faith was a large part of who she was.  She was probably most content while sewing, listening to and singing (or whistling) Christian music.  Barbara Joan (Kempton) Skelly died April 8, 2001.  "Tribute" was made to honor her memory.

Is this really just a "beginner"?

Words Remembered: The Diary of Susie A. Pearsall 1869-1875

By: Mary Wilber Wirchansky

Westville, NY

This wonderful quilt was made in loving memory of Mary's Great Grandmother.  She has done such a wonderful job replicating an old photograph, you'd think her Great Grandmother was going to get up out of that chair and take your hand.

This is a MUST SEE, and we are honored that Mary used some fabrics from Heartworks in her creation.  There's a story about a brown plaid fabric...Mary didn't really like the fabric, but it worked, and it kept working in keeping with the period and the feel of this quilt.  She just kept coming back for more, and more!

Mary, Thank You for sharing this Beauty with us!

 

Carol Conroe , who loves the rich, dark historic fabrics, has jumped right out of her safety zone. She took a class to make a fused, bright topiary tree, a real color challenge for Carol. We were so excited to see it finished, she offered to let us show it off to all of you. It's bright and beautiful, we want to make one too!

Thanks for sharing Carol.

Deb Geci came to this country in 1996 from England,

while living in Kentucky in 1984 an elderly lady taught Deb to "Quilt"!  We are so glad that she did! 

Thank You Deb, for sharing this lovely piece with us!
