Patches Are Forever Part 1

These quilted patches tell of many a different stories...

A special Christmas gift from the maker of our "honeymoon quilt", my best buddy, Rina. Was told that she had to stay up late rushing this purple patchwork for Christmas as a present to me and my daughter to share. It came with two matching pillow cases galore!

Just recently, October 2009, another gift from the maker of our "honeymoon quilt". One good thing about quilts is that they get "comfier" as they get older.

A bible clad in hand-sewn patches created by "moi". One of my early attempts to sew patches way back 1995, was told by a mentor-friend that one rule for a good patchwork is to align the corners well...this project being my very first was a contrary to that..

Patches are forever. We call this quilt our "honeymoon quilt" as this was given to us by a very dear friend as her wedding gift to us on March 25, 2000. Our "honeymoon quilt" just turned 10 yrs old with us as we celebrate a decade of bliss and splendor being together. A witness to our deepest secrets and escapades. The laughter, the tears...of changing diapers, of taming colic babes, of endless debates from politics to showbiz, of cold nights when one had to sleep on the floor and the other on the couch downstairs, of drools and snots on sick days, of love and intimacy. This lifeless quilt, with its good-as-new condition could talk and tell of a love-story made in heaven...perhaps in the next 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years and beyond...
