The piece on the back of the rocker is a flannel Apple Core..It is hand pieced and hand quilted, using the Big Stitch Technique with Perle Cotton, instead of the typical tiny stitches with quilting thread..Kathy made it this way to give a country look, and is much faster to finish:0) Perfect for pulling over to the couch on a winter day to curl up with a good book....The pillow in the rear on the left was a gift from her friend Nueva...It is in pastel colors and done in Crazy Quilting..Kathy says its such a special piece..
The hexagon in the rear on the right is English Piecing with wool floss embroidery, embellished with tiny buttons. The pattern was given to her by Nueva's daughter, Linda. Kathy, I might add did beautiful creating this pillow.... The Grandmother' Flower Garden center is appliqued onto Oznaburg cloth and hand quilted.
The two pillows in the front she made to sell when she had a little booth at the Antique Mall in Bedford...These pillows were pieced, log cabin style and the center block is inscribed with the sentiments " Remember Me" and "Affection's Offerings". Obviously, no one bought these so, they sit on the rocker her Mom gave her when her son Paul was born, 37+years ago..
I didn't know Kathy, was one of those who's art I was looking at when shopping at the Antique Mall...That would be before our time to meet....I truly love doing this blog...I am learning things about the Angels of Kindness that God has sent into my life.... as I share the stories of the insides of their home and heart... I love all you girls...The Ol' Blogger
