Laura's Graduation Quilt

Mom made this crimson and black (school colors) quilt for her niece, Laura's graduation from the University of South Carolina in 2010. They were in the same Sorority, which uses the owl as a mascot, so the owl showed up on the dedication patch on the back of Laura's quilt. Laura said about the quilt, "Everyone who has seen it is in awe of the handwork, time and love you put into it. It is something I will cherish forever."

The fabric on the back is USC themed.

Laura didn't provide me with a picture of her and the quilt, so instead I've chosen this pic of Laura and mom at a wedding this summer. It looks like they're having a good time!

Mom created this Yankees themed quilt for her nephew's graduation from Denison University in 2009. The backing is made up of various fabrics with the logo for the Yankees: Luke's favorite team. This quilt was displayed in the Centre Pieces Quilt Guild Quilt Show in 2009 before making its way to Luke (see picture of Mom with the quilt, below).

Leigh's Graduation Quilt

This quilt was made for Mom's niece, Leigh, upon graduating from the University of South Carolina in 2007. As you can tell, Leigh chose pink for her theme color. Mom and Leigh are sorority sisters, as you can see in the dedication, below:

Kristen's Graduation Quilt

Mom quilted this for her niece, Kristen, when she graduated from Monmouth University in 2007. Kristen picked blue/turquoise for her quilt's dominant color.

(This is one of the beds in Mom's house. In case you were wondering about the little girl beads on the wall - mine, not Kristen's)

Isn't it great that Dad and Aaron and I get credit for this gift when Mom did all the work?

Lauren's Graduation Quilt

Mom created this pinwheel quilt for her niece's graduation. Lauren describes the quilt warmly as follows:

"This beautiful quilt was given to me when I graduated from Moravian College in 2002. I was speechless when I opened up this present. The amount of time, detail and planning that goes into each one of Bobbie's quilts is amazing. It is breathtaking, and I am glad that I have something as precious as this quilt to pass along to my kids one day. "
