Great job, Karen! And Happy Retirement, Faye!May 21, 2009
Very Pretty Signature Quilt
My friend Karen designed this very striking signature quilt to commemorate the upcoming retirement of her teacher friend, Faye. The three sections of signature blocks represent the three phases of her teaching career. Each section contains signatures of the people she worked with at that time in her career. They're separated by strips of the most beautiful appliqued vines and flowers. Karen machine quilted the signature blocks and borders, but hand quilted the appliqued strips. It's a real shame that I'm not a better photographer -- the quilt was much prettier in person. (And my camera was set on the wrong function!) .JPG)

Wow Kim....I'm not one for signature blocks but this one is a stunner. Really is, and so glad you shared with us out here in blogland!
I really like this quilt! The applique strips really made a difference! Great idea to separate the years she worked with different folks. I'm sure the recipient is going to be overwhelmed with joy at such a gorgeous memory quilt!
