Mum's portrait is finished - very happy with my first attempt at realistic portraiture - hope Mum will like it too.
Three little quilts finished - machine pieced, machine quilted - these will go to a couple of babies and one little girl. The top one was a number of orphan blocks that ended up looking great with the lime green. It's funny that as you work, you make choices & are usually quite happy with those choices, then once the quilt is finished (just labels to go), you think of a better way of doing something or a better design - hindsight - such a wonderful thing!
The middle one was started by my niece (now 16) about 6/7 years ago - I decided to finish it off - used charm squares for most of it. The bottom one was also made from charm squares - all fabric used in the three was from my stash. No, can't see any difference in the amount of fabric I have.
Your Mum will be thrilled with your quilt. The effort and time taken to create a work of art, speak volumes of LOVE, real loud.
ReplyDeleteIT LOOKS GREAT!
I love the items in your garden, nothing like those here in Ontario Canada.
Happy Holidays to you and yours in advance.
Cheers from Oshawa, Ontario Canada
