2007                                                                      My friend Noelle had a treasured tied quilt her grandmother had made her.  It was about worn out and she wanted to make another one.  This was her first venture into quilting.  I did talk her into making a simple patchwork top for it instead of just using a sheet.  ( The down side was that it was hard to get the needle with the yard through the multiple layers at the corners.)  It was also my first venture into tying a quilt.  Noelle taught me that.   I loved her choice of fabrics and colors and the black and white yarn for tying.

Noelle’s daughter Callie came over to help with the tying part.

                                                 And here’s a close-up of the finished quilt with the fuzzy fringy ties.
