A Tribute to my Grandfather

My grandfather was a WWII vet and bricklayer by trade. When RA crippled & burned out his joints, he was left with clubs as hands. Yet he designed and sewed quilts for all his grandchildren. I wanted to honor his memory (he's been gone 50 yrs) and make a quilt from wood. This is what I came up with. Thanks Grandad, I still have the quilt.

As a segmented turner myself I am impressed with your art. I also like that there is a family story that goes with them. Great work.

Very nice work, Michelle. I've always thought quilt design and segmented turning design could profit by a little cross fertilization.
