Show and Tell

I took Maggie's Memory Quilt and Becky's Throw to the quilt guild meeting tonight for show and tell.  I want to give these quilt to Maggie and Becky on Thanksgiving Day.  We go down to Luke's for dinner every year, and Kay has always been there too.  This year, no Kay.  I know these memory quilts will evoke tears from Mags and Becky, but hopefully tears of joy as well.  It will be a poignant moment.  Thanksgiving seems a better time to give the quilts, better than Christmas.  There's a whole different feeling at Thanksgiving than Christmas.  Christmas has become too commercialized, too "expected."  Thanksgiving will be more serious.

Anyway, here are the 2 finished Memory quilts:

Maggie's Quilt, 98" x 98"
Becky's Throw, 62" x 62"
