More Cathy's quilt - Lunch in Corunna

I called Aunt L last week and said 'Road Trip' for next wednesday and she said OK, and asked where and I told her she is not allowed to ask. giggle

We went to East Lansing and picked up my Aunt Lauralee, and she still had no idea until we were going. Even when we arrived at Sylvia's house; and when she saw Syl then she figured it out. Teagan stayed home, but the rest of us went to Corunna to the Dragon Chinese buffet. We all pigged out and totally enjoyed the food, especially the deserts LOL and had a great time. Cathy and I went to Country Stitches after we took Aunt L home, and found some things we were looking for.

We had a bit of a detour on the way home [we had a detour around an accident], but we made it just fine. Oh auntieem was unable to make it today, hopefully 'next time'.

Cathy's Quilts

IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED TISHKAM/TISHMOM aka MOM



Cathy's small quilt. The center picture is Cathy's fav picture of mom and mom's sister Vida, 2 years ago in the spring. I will try to figure out why this picture wanted to be sideways. But not right now. Also when I have time I will re-take pictures of the quilts and re-post. We have just been too busy to get the camera out.



















The quilt below is the larger one. The squares were made by many people from the chat room. The squares were then sent to QCL [Anne L.]who went


through all

the squares she received, and laid them out and put them together into quilt tops to create these beautiful master pieces. Cathy and I love the 'corner squares' she made to complete the smaller one, and also the various fabrics she used to border the large one.

Anne L. aka quilting crafty lady spent lots of time put the tops together and then sent the tops to me >Emily aka eanne to be quilted. Since I was unable to drive to Cathy's house, we had to wait for her to have time and dollars to come to my house and 'play with my quilt frame', and discuss various projects that 'mom' started that needed to be completed.

Cathy was finally able to load the car and head to Michigan.

After the car was off loaded, and the sewing room was put back together [a little shop vac work was needed to deal with water from heavy rain] we started looking at projects.

A bit later we finally started taking quilts off the bed in the guest room [I store quilts on the bed]. Remembering the ones I had when at the farm and giggles and memories of each. When we finally got to this big one, Cath saw 'diamond' written on a square and wondered why diamond would make a square for someone. I told her to start reading the names. I finally had to tell her that this was her quilt. Then we looked at the next one, the smaller one with the picture of Tish and Vida. She knew these were both for her.

She loves them both and thanks everyone that helped create these memories of Tishkam [mom] !!!!



These are the labels I made for each quilt, listing everyone that participated. Thank you everyone! Oh - auntieem from the chat room helped do some of the hand quilting one day when she came to visit. I am sorry auntieem - I forgot to add your name.
