When there is time


When there is time I like to tell a story and my medium is quilts.   Over the year my stories just grew.  I have posted this original in 2011 but would like to give you a glimpse of what happened in the mean time.  
After the passing of our eldest son five years ago I made the first one.  A sort of memory ... or perhaps it started as something to keep my going. Now every one tells a story of our family.  It is a part of us. 
Worn jean, red heart made from a little chair that was re-upholstered. 
I do not go on any road trip without stopping somewhere to purchase a piece of cloth.



To create one is a "battle" . . . I cut perfect and not so perfect pieces in the 30cm blocks and then when there is 72 blocks the process can begin.  
Little keys add a bit of history 

Some charm from Graphic Fairy 
The kittens was a piece of  cloth used for pillows when the boys were still toddlers. 


The story quilts are every where in our home and else where.  

Thanks for visiting 

Lots of love
