Wow, 17 kids in her family, 10 sisters and 7 boys. Hence, the name "Tensisters".  Somewhere was HMQS teacher of the year.

 Carmen had some wonderful sayings.  Family quote, 

“We don’t lay

on the applique”

 to keep the quilt from wearing out.

She also has three types of "DONE".

“Done” – quilt top done
“Done, Done” – Quilting completed
“Done, Done, Done” – Binding on and finished (Labled)

Checkered past, Quilt pieced, hand quilted with scalloped edges.  Muslin white, so not real robust quilt but hangs on wall nicely.

 

Flower garden, grandmothers

“A finished quilt is the perfect quilt!”  Quilting is 95% confidence, 4% skill.
