Life and Possum Town Quilters

Life …

Kirby graduated from kindergarten.

Miss Kendra made dresses for the girls in the class.

And then more and more children wanted their picture taken.

Fun on the seesaws.

For teaching school for 3 years, our sewing circle gave Miss Renee a quilt, Raspberry Cactus. She is second from the right.

Oh, if only I were old enough to play Prisoner’s Base.

More fun on the playground.

… as a Quilter

Katie, a new quilter, makes wee quilts for stillborn babies. One to wrap the baby in for burial and the other for the grieving parents.

Sue’s “2 for 1 Hula” blocks, Hawaiian style from the Stacy Michell class I took with her in Paducah.

Another quilt by Sue.

 

Diane’s Christmas Medallion

Barb’s medallion quilt.

One block and 2 completely different quilts.

Life and Raspberry Cactus

Life …

These munchkins are ready for a ride!

Wonderful bedtime stories from Uncle Arthur.

I used to think this kind of jumping was fun!

Ponds, boats, streams, digging, water, and friends make for lots of good fun.

… as a Quilter

Remember the “Christmas Cactus” quilt that I started years ago? I got it back from my longarm quilter, Elmina and added the binding to finish it up.

Detail

I think instead of “Christmas Cactus” I'll call my version “Raspberry Cactus.”

I found the pattern in an old “Quiltmaker” magazine. You can purchase the pattern from here.
