I arrived safely at Mom’s yesterday but extremely tired after not sleeping at all. With my cab coming at 3:30AM it wasn’t worth going to bed.
My mom’s sister and her husband came to visit today. He’s a talented woodworker (carpenter? wood artist?) and had made these 3 quilt blocks. My aunt let Mom and I choose one and she kept the 3rd one for herself. Aren’t they beautiful? I can’t wait to find a spot in the new townhouse for it.
What a treasure! The blocks are so unique. The block looks wonderful on the wall. Enjoy!Becky in Georgia
Oh Mary those are beautiful. WOW

We have one exactly like it! I will blog about it soon…there is a story behind it.So glad you arrived at Mom’s…now go take a nap, you deserve it!Pam@http://www.pamgwillim.com

Those wooden quilt blocks are AWSOME! Whenever I visit Paducah, I see some similar, but they’re WAY out of budget for me! LOL! I’m glad your family appreciates the quilting craft shared by your sister, you and Mom.
Very nice gift! They are beautiful. It’s amazing the “texture” you find in all sorts of objects, like making a quilt with solids.
Mary, they are very beautiful. What a special gift.
