Recycling this post from earlier in March to link up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict. This little quilt is headed to Little Lambs of Utah for Hands2Help !
I was all excited to photograph my chandelier quilt finish and share it with you today. I finished it up Thursday afternoon - it's such a sweet little quilt, and deserves outdoor beauty shots. But there wasn't time for that, and it's cold and gray here today anyway. So I'm just sharing a couple of quickly snapped shots taken in my living room.
I quilted it simply with my walking foot using the serpentine stitch.
The binding is the same fabric as the setting triangles -
it's called Rainbow Garden - I finished it by machine.
I used some Quilter's Dream wool batting that I had and it's quite poofy, but also stiff.
I'm hoping a trip through the washer and dryer will soften it up.
This sweet little quilt makes me smile, which is certainly needed right now!

What a double whammy for your mom! I hope surgery goes well and she gets no sicker from COVID! Your finish is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear the news of your mother. A broken hip is a horrible injury at any age but at 91 is really bad. Praying for a full recovery after this fall. Your quilt is lovely. I'm surprised to read that it is stiff though because I've heard nothing but good things about wool batting. Let us know how it goes post-wash.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Diann I'm keeping you and Mom in my prayers. Sending lots of healing hugs your way! By the way, the quilt is splendid! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteBummer. Not easy at any age. Take care of your mom and keep us posted on her progress when you have time. Love your Rainbow Chandelier!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your mom's troubles. Wishing her an easy surgery and speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom heals quickly. Ugh! The chandelier quilt came out nicely!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope the surgery and recovery go well for your Mom and that the Covid symptoms are going away quickly. Your quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Diann! Hoping your Mom's surgery (and subsequent recovery) goes well. Quite a stressful time for you, I would imagine! Squeeze in some quilting time when you are able.
ReplyDeleteDiann, I am sending heaps of good thoughts and hugs for both you and your mom. Do keep us in the loop of her progress.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your mom's challenges. Saying a prayer for you both. Your quilt is so cute. I enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteoh I am so sorry your mom fell and broke her hip on top of recovering from Covid - let us know how it goes I do hope she won't have too rough of a time. Hip surgery is so much better then it used to be and they will probably try to get her up soon and I hope that covid will not complicate things - so glad she has had all of her vaccines.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is looking great.
Oh gosh, Diann. I am so sorry! Dang that COVID virus! Just when we start to feel better about our chances to “get back to normal “! I’m sorry about your mom’s fall too! Never a good thing. Hope the surgery goes well today and she can recovery quickly. Rehab is probably a good possibility, but that is a good thing. Small baby steps to mobility again. Thinking of you and her today! Hope you feel all the virtual hugs coming from this community!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry, Diann! Hoping your mom’s surgery goes well and she makes a full recovery from both the broken hip and Covid. Will be keeping you both in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Chandelier is beautiful! I’ve admired it every time you’ve shared it while you’ve worked on it, and it’s on my “Quilts on I Want To Make List.”
Hope your mom recovers quickly. Your chandelier quilt turned out great. Love that serpentine stitch. - Sara
ReplyDeleteoh gosh! I am so sorry for your mom- hope she recovers quickly!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your chandelier quilt - what a fun idea to do it RSC style!!!
So sorry for your Mom and you. Covid topped by a broken hip seems to make March an awful month. She and you are in our prayers. Lovely finish to the chandelier quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish. It looks terrific. Your poor mom. I hope surgery goes well and she is on the way to mending fast. Take care of yourself too. Don't do anything crazy now -- our hips can be compromised too. Hope you are getting on with your quilting -- green for March?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, your poor Mum. Sending very best wishes for a sucessful op.
ReplyDeleteOh Diann, I'm so sorry to hear the news of your mom. Hope the surgery went well and hope she recovers quickly. Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. Chandelier quilt is a beautiful finish! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that news...your mom has been through a lot it seems and now this. And of course you along with her. Lovely photo of you two.
ReplyDeleteI just read your last post too. Lovely finish on your Chandelier quilt. And I like those pretty blue blocks too. You have such a great space there to stitch in. Lots of room to spread things out. My space is very small and cramped by comparison though I am grateful for the room. Meanwhile, good luck with this latest set back for your poor mom.
Oh I hope your mom heals quickly. It is so hard when they are in their 90s. Your chandelier quilt is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh, your poor mom! I hope she gets much better quickly. Sending virtual hugs and many good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear about your Mom! Hope she heals quickly from both the fall and covid.
ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry to hear about your Mom and the broken hip, hope the surgery has gone well. The chandelier quilt has finished up beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom is doing ok after her surgery. Falling at that age is never a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYour chandelier quilt is so pretty. Nice finish Gail at the Cozy Quilter
Adding my positive vibes and hugs to both you and your Mom. Either one of those things would be bad enough, but both at once. I hope she is resting comfortably.
ReplyDeletePat
I pray that your Mom receives a complete and quick recovery! Your chandelier quilt is very sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww Diann I am so sorry for your little Mom. I just read your update on her. Your Rainbow Garden quilt is really pretty - the setting and that pretty aqua background make it so special. Take care!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to read your mom’s surgery went well. And the news that she is already up in a chair is a great sign she will heal up nicely. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYikes Diann - I am terribly sorry to hear about your mom's injury and surgery. It is amazing what can be done now in the operating room though. Hoping she heals well and doesn't have any long lasting aftereffects. Take care of yourself and your mom.
ReplyDeletesew pretty - glad about your mom too
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Diann! I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's Covid and broken hip. I pray the surgery went well and she will have a quick and full recovery.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so pretty!
What a blessing to still have your mom with you,prayers for quick healing & recovery,your quilt is absolutely beautiful & such cheery colors!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Diann. You must feel so overwhelmed. One thing on top of another. Damn it. Sending lots of love and healing wishes.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Mum is continuing to make a good recovery from surgery and the Covid symptoms have gone. It's tough seeing our parents having to struggle with extra illness on top of the effects of aging isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour quilt does look very effective and the quilting design compliments the patchwork very well.
