The story:
When I was about ten years old, my friend Judy and I were spending a little time alone at her house. Unsupervised ten year olds get bored and sometimes make unwise choices. We both loved Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and decided to call them – we got as far as the operator in California and were told that Roy would not acccept our call. We were disappointed but thought nothing more of it until a month later when her mother asked about the long distance phone charges from Wisconsin to California. It was a learning apportunity that even today makes me smile.

Description:
This small wall hanging was made around 2” fussy-cut blocks featuring pictures of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. It then used a ¾” frame around each different pose and set them in a square-in-square on point. The four center, alternating blocks contain a cowboy embroidery motiff. The edge of the quilt features an embroidered rope design. I used a tiny check for the backing. The quilt is hand embroidered and hand quilted and the binding is finished by hand.Detail images:
