I just finished quilting this one for my Niece's 25th birthday! As it happens, her 25th was last year, Feb.20,2012. Thus the label!! Her Mom, my sister, really wanted it in time for her birthday last year but we all know what can happen. The back is a beautiful wide batik that is part of the same collection as the greenish one on the front. We wanted a label, but as the quilt is quite reversible, it had to be subtle. My friend Brandy made a thermofax screen and screen printed on a scrap of the backing. It's there in the lower right corner but it doesn't mar the look of the one piece back.

This photo was taken with the local high school textiles class just before Christmas. Their teacher, Marnie Mennell, called and asked if I'd be willing to quilt the class project, a quilt meant for the Women in Need Society. I said "absolutely!" I love to encourage the younger generation to take up quilting (creating with fabric in any form) and this was a great way to contribute.
