Lover's Knot


Let's try this again! I am sorry that this is not quite as good of a picture as I wanted to have to showcase my quilt. When I started this quilt it was because I wanted to show what could be made with my friend Katherina's fabric. She is the owner of Sew-n-Sew's Place in Roosevelt Utah. I know that it is called Lover's Knot but to me it represents friendship. Katherina has been a very good friend to me and has taught me many things and has given me opportunities to grow in my general sewing and in my quilting. Today another dear friend of mine died. This friendwas my 6 year old Green cheecked Conure named Zookie. Zookie was a very loved member of our family and he will be greatly missed. My quilt is dedicated to my two good friends Katherina and Zookie.
