This is a quilt tutorial for using those vintage hankies.  I have some of my own from early teaching years and some from my Aunt Louie.

Here is a sample from the Oregon Quilt Show.  No mention was made of the quilter.

2016 Finishes

Finishes for 2016.

I started this in 2008.  It is taken from the book, An Updated Supplement to Sulky's Secrets to Successful Stabilizing,  I had to take off a border I had around it in order to get it to lay flat.  The squares around are more heavily quilted.  I couldn't make the square smaller because some of the tree limbs are stitched on it. Here is the poem written by Patience Strong (aka Winifred Emma May)

If you stand very still
by Patience Strong


If you stand very still in the heart of a wood
you will hear many wonderful things-
the snap of a twig, the wind in the trees,
and the whirr of invisible wings.


If you stand very still in the turmoil of life
and wait for the voice from within-
you'll be led down the quiet ways of wisdom and peace
If you stand very still and you hold to your faith
in a mad world of chaos and din.

you will get all the help that you ask.
You will draw from the silence the things you need
-hope and courage, and strength for you task.

Finally, this is done,  Entwined by Evelyn Sloppy.

Narragansett Blues by Bonnie Hunter from her book More Adventures with Leaders and Enders.  I did use 2.5 inch squares and adjusted the rectangles.  It ended up too big then so I couldn't do her spiffy border. I did use blue and green for the bigger pieces.  This started out for Cindy, but then I gave her a different one instead,

My friend, Betty, died on Sunday, January 31.  She had Alzheimers, so I have been missing my good friend for the past couple of years.
