Little Quilt Monday
He was a farmer/rancher that loved living in the country. I chose to make the Hole in the Barn Door quilt block in green to signify the green color of the winter wheat that he would plant each year. He lived a very disciplined life. He always had breakfast at 6:30, and lunch at a diner called Vivian's. Supper depended on the time of year, sometimes brought out into the field during harvest. He was born on the farm, and lived in that very house until after my mothers death, when he could no longer be cared for there. He took an active part in his community and church. Most important of all, he loved my mother, and became part of my life when I was in college.
I hand stitched this mini quilt with variegated crochet thread. It is a random pattern going around the square, and it reminds me of rows of crops.
The measurements are 9 X 9 inches and the backing fabric is linen. I added corner squares, as requested by the AAQI, for ease in hanging on the wall, if desired.
