Lala Speaks for Herself


I recently did photos of my finished Lala's Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt...  With the help of my daughter, we captured some sweet photos with a touch of nostalgia. 

You may recognize the house as the home of W.D. & Lala Teegarden.  They lived there from the time it was built in 1922 until 1963 when they passed away.

Enjoy!












Are the rosebushes the same ones that W.D. had in his garden???




Keep Piecing,

Melva

    The photos are just priceless Melva. Is that Lala's former house? This quilt turned out so very pretty - love the one with Lala's quilt next to yours. And do you still have roses blooming?

    The soft colours in the Irish Chain look so lovely against the yellow porch. Draping it over the railing really shows off those little squares and the blue border!

    Beautiful quilts! You did a great job with the photoshoot. I really like the black and white with the colored quilts. Very cool.

    I love the idea of a basic chain in one color and scraps around it. Chains are always a fave of mine and this is a great way to push out some scraps too!
