RoseCity Quilter Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Started by my friend Gloria, before her battle with Metastasis Breast Cancer, which sadly she lost. Her friend Diane finished the quilt and I Longarm quilted it. It will be auctioned at the Alberta MCC Relief Sale this spring (2012). It was a moving experience to quilt this quilt, I thought about Gloria the entire time I worked on it. Here is a link to the sale http://www.mccreliefsale.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=2 027 by RoseCity Quilter, on Flickr 029 by RoseCity Quilter, on Flickr 028 by RoseCity Quilter, on Flickr 032 by RoseCity Quilter, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zora Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ardelle, you do such beautiful work. This is a stunning quilt, and how generous of you and your friend to complete this quilt.. and for the family to allow it to be auctioned. Its really stunning. Gloria would love it. I hope you will attach a label telling the quilt's story. The winning bidder would love the quilt even more knowing its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
