Over the weekend I finished up working on Part 4 of Land of Liberty. While working on it I heard that the designer of this quilt, Cheri Payne, passed away from cancer. She was a very talented quilter who shared her talent with us all. Now she is pain free and in a better place. My heart goes out to her family.
Here is my version of Part 4.
I enjoy all of Cheri's patterns but I think this is my favorite. It has been going together nicely due to the help of Lori directions.
Now that the "Wedding Quilt" is finished (picture coming soon) I started working on my second Christmas quilt.
Here is a close up of the red fabric. It is different Santa Clauses. I have had this fabric for years and finally had a chance to use it.
On a sadder personal note, my 90 year old mother-in-law is in failing health. She had complained of sever stomach pains. It turns out she has a perforated ulcer. The doctors said that because of her age and frailty she would not survive the surgery. All they can do for now is give her pain meds and keep her comfortable. She is aware of her condition and says she is ready. What is even sadder is my father-in-law who has Alzheimer's and is unaware of what goes on around him knows she isn't home. It is going to be hard letting him know of her condition.
We woke up to snow covered ground this morning. Streets were icy and there were quite a few accidents due to cars sliding and unable to stop. I hope the weather is better where you are.
Thanks for taking time to stop by.
Hugs, Cathy

Sorry about the fuzzy photo. Didn't notice it till I was writing the post. It is a design by Em at Em's Scrapbag. The blocks are 12".
