sisters



there were never more devoted



(take it away Rosemary and Vera!)
 
but my little sister lives a long. . . long . . . long way away and I miss her terribly.
 
the second quilt I ever made was for her
 
didn't really understand the importance of pattern and contrast back then
 
time to make her a new quilt
 
this is the pattern
 


 
purchased from Bella's Patchwork
 
I'll be using the layer cake from this range
 
 
 
 
Three Sisters fabric seemed like the right choice

    Okay, one more thing! You've had me humming that tune, "Sisters", ever since I first read your post this morning! Wonder why they quit making movies like that? I wish they would again! Of course, all the good singers and dancers are gone now! ---"Love"
