I loved your story about your dad's log cabin, his childhood home. Are you making a note of all these things? Weirdly on 15 June, I thought to myself, this is Cliff's birthday! I love his quilt. My sister has the quilt I made my dad. I know she treasures it, and my cousin one i made for my aunt. Looks like Preeti and yourself had a great day, quilts, stone skipping and wine drinking with a good friend, what's not to like. helenjean@midgetgemquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005403786619091105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-51430364741083168932018-07-07T06:38:30.808-04:002018-07-07T06:38:30.808-04:00The log cabin quilt for your Dad is so full of lov...The log cabin quilt for your Dad is so full of love! It was clearly cherished, as it should have been. I'm sure your children will cherish the link to their grandfather. And thanks for sharing the tale of your weekend with Preeti. Judging from the two blogs, you had a blast. And that's as it should be too.<br />ps. definitely recognize the Canada 150 fabric. Good to get it used.laughing gas quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620402314072197845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-90150329036076949372018-07-06T11:19:12.733-04:002018-07-06T11:19:12.733-04:00How fun that you and Preeti got to meet and enjoy ...How fun that you and Preeti got to meet and enjoy some wonderful scenery together!

Log cabin quilts are the best, and yours is so well thought out to tie in with your dad's history and interests. I love all of your photos of your time with Preeti and your awesome photo shoot at one of the Great Lakes. (If people haven't been there, they just don't understand the pull of the the salt-free coast, right?) Good to know the pen held up. That's what I used back in the day, and it's nice to know the writing might still show.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-54653379828017641322018-07-05T11:48:58.521-04:002018-07-05T11:48:58.521-04:00Hi Sandra!

And you Dad's quilt is fabulous, especially the pictures of him and his friends when he received it. {{Hugs}} My Dad has been gone since 1982 and I still miss him and my Mom (2011) very much. I think it speaks to how they raised us in a loving environment where we were able to get to know them as people as well as parents. Thanks for sharing all this love with us!

Your choice of border really adds to the airiness and flow, the log cabins blocks just mesh. And the quilting and all of the details--eye and mind boggling for me, the one who quilts only in straight lines and one color thread. :)somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-68502079571301800192018-07-05T11:18:57.717-04:002018-07-05T11:18:57.717-04:00It's a beautiful quilt and there are clearly s...It's a beautiful quilt and there are clearly so many memories, old and new, in this post, Sandra.
