Purple stars

[greaterexp]

I still have to quilt it, but I finally finished the top for a quilt I’ll be giving my husband’s assistant. She’s a loyal worker who has to deal with two bosses, so I wanted to reward her with something special. She loves purple! It has nearly 2000 pieces, so I thought I’d never get it done. Every day I can still quilt feels like a victory!

WOW awesome, what a project. You should be proud to be able create something so beautiful!

[greaterexp in reply to MS_Indestructible]

You’re so sweet! Thank you for the encouragement.

[MS_Indestructible in reply to greaterexp]

sorry, I only tell like I see it. She must be quite the assistant, I'm sure she'll love it.

Awesome job as usual Erin. It reminds me of the days when my Mother quilted when I was young. You brought back some wonderful memories.

Thanks.

I wish I could have met your mom and have seen her quilts. She raised a great son!

[Doubled51 in reply to greaterexp]

I remember when I was a kid that all the ladies in the neighborhood would gather for a quilting bee. They put together some awesome quilts. After heart attack she wasn’t able to quilt so that’s when she took up knitting. She was quite a woman. Took 3 heart attacks and 2 strokes to ever stop her. You would have loved her.

At times I’m not sure she would have agreed about a great son😅😂🤣. I was wild and crazy in those days but her and my dad instilled the values that made me the man I am. They showed me to let Jesus take over and quit my crazy ways. It worked cause he changed everything.

Thank you for the compliment and God bless my friend

[goatgal]

greaterexp The recipient will feel deeply appreciated when you give her this work of art. You are truly an artist as well as a skilled quilter! Thank you for sharing.

[greaterexp in reply to goatgal]

That seems like high praise for someone who cuts fabric into pieces and sews it back together! You’re very sweet!

[Fancy1959]

That is so beautiful and you have such a talent! It shows off your true artistic abilities! Thanks for sharing. Fancy.

[greaterexp in reply to Fancy1959]

I’m so humbled and mystified by your kind words of encouragement when my kids couldn’t figure out what my stick figure drawing was. 🤔

[rjoneslaw]

My mother would love this. She would talk you into giving it to her if she knew you. She loves the color purple and if it’s not she will dye it purple. She only own things in purple. She only give gifts that are in purple. See where I’m going with this.

[greaterexp in reply to rjoneslaw]

Purple lovers are the most avid fans I know!

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to greaterexp]

💜💜I have always loved purple. As a redhead, I was always told to not wear pink, red etc. but to wear greens, blues and lavender. It didn't hurt that our school colors were purple and white💜💜 Most of my closet is lavender and purple.

[greaterexp in reply to CalfeeChick]

Since joining this group, I’ve become a fan of purple, too. My husband is a Vikings fan, so I’m in luck!

[CraigS]

Proof that there is only do, never try. It just takes longer. That is a very impressive quilt. I just love the colors and the pattern.

[jackiesj]

Unbelievable..the quilt and that you have a husband that helped you do it!Awesome!

[greaterexp in reply to jackiesj]

He doesn't sew, but he doesn't complain that I do so much.

[jackiesj in reply to greaterexp]

what a talent....you have many!

[BigMar7]

What a marvelous gift you have. You are an Artist. I am still knitting the cap I started months ago. 🙃😀❤️

[greaterexp in reply to BigMar7]

Keep going. I hoped I would get this done before Christmas, and it’s a miracle it’s done! However, a book I started a year ago still sits beside my bed. Someday...

[bxrmom]

This is beautiful greaterexp Thanks so much for sharing it with us! Your husband’s assistant will love this! My great grandma used to crochet up until her early 90s when her vision was starting to get really bad and she couldn't do it anymore. One of her favorite things to do.

[greaterexp in reply to bxrmom]

I hope you have some of the things she made. I know it’s just stuff, but I’m sentimental about those things. It warms me to think of these quilts warming my kids and grandkids long after I’m gone.

[bxrmom in reply to greaterexp]

I do still have the one she made me. I use it in the winter when I'm at my computer if I get cold. It's not too big and not too small.

[jimeka]

greaterexp for some reason I have missed a whole batch of posts, so I am sorry for the late reply. The quilt is absolutely gorgeous. You are so gifted, but what I like most is that you share that gift with others. If I didn’t have such a beautiful quilt, I would be coveting this one! Well done, Blessings Jimeka 🤗 🍫

[greaterexp in reply to jimeka]

When I saw the colors, I surely thought of you!

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador]

greaterexp the purple stars quilt is outstanding! Such a fabulous gift. I wish I thought I would have the patience. I'm going to make a quilt of 14" squares from all my bicycling t-shirts. I bought a queen size duvet in black & hope to use it for the quilt.

[greaterexp in reply to CalfeeChick]

You’ll do fine. I would research t-shirt quilts before starting so you’re happy with the results. Be sure to post a picture of the finished project!
