Fiesta Fireworks Quilt – All Finished

I think now I can officially call this quilt finished! After starting it at Pigeon Forge and working on it some more when I got home and thinking it was finished, … I decided to cut off the binding, trim the quilt and bind it again. Now I really am finished.

I originally made this quilt for a challenge with the theme CELEBRATION.

It measures 39”X41.” (Oh dear. English teachers, does the period come after the inches symbol or before the inches symbol?) 

It’s made from cotton fabric and overlaid with black tulle with glitter.

Kirby and Stacy came today and played with Ashton. They helped me with the photo shoot.

My brother Oren Jr.’s wife Cheryl is making a string quilt that reminds me of a July picnic!

Mother worked faithfully hand piecing her hexies into “Grandmother’s Flower Garden.”

My “Fiesta Fireworks” is ready for some quilting. Ashton came along back with Paul to pick me up and take me home.

Heatwole Sewing / Quilt Retreat

We are in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee near Pigeon Forge for this annual event.

Snow and ice were on the steep drive to our cabin.

A nostalgic moment.

Barbara made this quilt from Father’s pants. Mother said he never wore jeans.

Not everyone brought sewing projects to work on.

Amy finished piecing her Star Spin quilt from a pattern designed by our sister Barbara.

A story???

Ashton took me on a steep walk all the way around the cabin.

So, where is everyone?

… Oh, there they are!

Some of the cousins from the next generation are sewing right along with us.

Polly finished piecing her Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice.

Emily and her “Disappearing 9-Patch.”

Cheryl is having fun making a “string” quilt.
