Circle of Sisters

I have lots of sisters...

Two sisters in my immediate family.

Mom, me, and my two sisters in 2012

Plus, four sisters-in-law.   All precious to me in so many ways.

Sisters who started out as co-workers and have become life-long friends, here in my community.

Spring of 2014 - all my favorite teaching partners and friends.


And Quilty Sisters, too numerous to count, from all around blogland - you are all so appreciated!

And now I have International Sisters, too.  Thank you, Preeti, for this fun block!  I turned my four sisters (last week's post) into a mini quilt this week.


Concentric circles of quilting seemed just the thing for this mini.


Backing and binding are this yellow-gold with plus signs - bright and fun!


I found the perfect spot for this quilt...

I'm going to enjoy looking at it every day!

    Your Sisters wall hanging is just wonderful, and what a great post! Is that your wall of fame in your sewing room?
    I didn't realize you had sisters, and that is a sweet photo of you and your Mom and sisters.

    Love your 'sister' story and I hadn't really thought of all my blog and quilting friends as 'sister's' but what a delightful idea--thanks--
    and what a lovely wall hanging you received!
    luv, di
