A Maple Leaf in Memory of Dad...


I finished this one this evening...

This quilt is a maple leaf design, and I decided to shadow quilt it.

This quilt is pretty special to me because I was working on it when my Dad died, 16 August 2006... and it seemed so fitting that it would be dedicated to him. One of my fondest memories of childhood was our yearly trips to Burton, Ohio to get maple syrup. My Mom and Dad continued to make that trip every year to get a supply of syrup for the family. When we lived in Germany and Korea, my Mom would mail me a half-gallon of syrup each spring... the postage was probably way more than the syrup was worth... but oooooohhh, it was good!!
