I wasn't on stage--just hung quilts.
Included: my very VERY first quilt. Patchwork--sort of. Scraps from my mother's matching pajama-sewing projects. I loved "Little House on the Prairie" and tried to make a quilt for my doll with squares, just raw-edge appliqueing them down on a folded background. I was 9. My almost 9 year old daughter Roxie thinks it is pretty cool (maybe she just wonders that I was ever young, like her?)!
When Stewart had much smaller feet he walked in gold paint over this quilt (on purpose, with coaching and a reward) honoring our Pioneer ancestors!
Purple silky and fleece raw edge ruffle baby quilt for a shower gift. I did a running stitch on the inside ruffle and sewed down the outer one, so it looked gathered, more in control; pulled lots of strings off. Hopefully it will wash up smoother, kind of a shabby-chic thing going for a purple princess!

Do you have to be on stage to have talent? I know many talented people quietly working away...
You are a magnificent quilter. I truly adore the one you made for my Aubrey. She's sleeping soundly on it right now. As soon as her cheek hits the silk she relaxes and calms. So sweet. Thanks again, friend!
It's wonderful to see all of your beautiful quilts lined up. You are so talented!
There are so many talents that can't be shown on a stage - One year a very clever woman in our ward put up a photo of her three boys as her talent!
You're talented in so many ways in addition to your quilting talent.
