We have a few items on sale; charm squares; jelly rolls; layer cakes as well as books! This is a picture intense post; so hang on!!!
This is Jim's mom Lila's log cabin quilt; made from an Eleanor Burns book. She made it for her daughter Leeila; this quilt is special because it is made from her deceased daughter's fabric stash. On Thanksgiving of 2006, her daughter Delores was beaten to death by a mentally ill man she had befriended at work; this man had a history of abuse toward women and had been incarcerated in the past for this. She felt sorry for him and tried to help him out as she could; it was not a romantic relationship, just one human trying to help another. He misinterpreted her intentions despite her continual explanations to him that she had a male friend and when he got frustrated that night by her refusals; he beat her to death. Out of that tragedy, Jim rescued her fabric stash and her sewing machine for his mom. There were only two girls in the family; the rest are boys numbering 3. His remaining sister asked Jim's mom to make her a quilt and so she chose to use some of the fabrics left in the stash as well as some she purchased at our shop. So all in all it is a special quilt. By the way, Jim;s mom is 83! She is still making these big quilts and now we have her making purses, which she loves.
