I know way back when i was in 8th grade or high school one of my best friends ever, in my entire life, moved. I was heartbroken over the loss of my friend.

He died this summer and his hat and the quilt I made him were the two things I took home to remember him by. I have the quilt hanging on a rack in my bedroom. It's dirty (he had three dogs) but I don't think I'll ever wash it.✾Jamie Lee Cooley✾https://www.blogger.com/profile/07208832897656210176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-52126104296949239302015-12-30T06:37:30.762-06:002015-12-30T06:37:30.762-06:00Simple design quilts without all the fancy quiltin...Simple design quilts without all the fancy quilting are my favorite!

Yours is special because you get to see him enjoy it now. I made something similar, another idea for you.

But this is an absolutely wonderful quilt!<br />I just love the group effort and I 'm sure that will mean a lot to your dad. I love the cows in the quilt and in the pics.

We ...Amanda Jean, What a great tribute to your Dad. We know how they are, all shy and quiet about gifts such as this, but I know he loves it. He's probably showing it off to folks when they visit:)<br />I love a tied quilt and that was my first intro to quilting in the 70's. My mom got me involved w/the ladies aid group at our Lutheran church (fellow Midwesterner here from Wisconsin) and we cut up jeans, wool coats, shirts, and made quilts for our sister church in New Guinea. In fact she would let me stay home sick from school on quilting day at church, usually in Jan and Feb. Thanks for such a great memory:) Happy Monday and Happy New year to you too!
