The Dresden Plate Quilt that Took 30 Years

                                     I can remember the shopping trip and the fun that Cindy and I
                                     had ,about 30  yrs ago.. We went to the fabric store, and Cindy,
                                     who was 9 or 10 at the time, picked out the fabric to make
                                     this quilt ..It was going to be a comforter for her bed.. I pieced
                                     each block by hand.  I even sewed all the strips together and
                                     got the  quilt top made..
                                                                HOWEVER:
                                     It never got quilted?  Why--- you ask?  I don't know!!
                                     It ended up  in a box , put away, and rarely thought
                                     About.  I saw it a  few months back,and decided to have
                                     it machine quilted by a friend of mine. Yesterday, I decided
                                     to get it out  and hem it..
                                                                SO
                                     After 30 years.. I will be giving this quilt to my baby
                                     girl .[who is now 40]
                                           
Can't wait  until she comes to visit , so I can give it to her.
She will be shocked!!! She has teased me for years, about
never finishing her quilt!!! ha
