This lovely scrap quilt is one I recently finished stitching for two of my quilting friends. The friends, sisters, recently moved their mom from her country home to a new-to-her apartment located nearer to them. After all the cleaning and purging of a lifetime spent raising a large family on the homestead, they realized their mom, also a quilter, hadn’t kept a quilt for her own bed! Some fast action ensued and they asked me to quilt this top in time for their Mom for Christmas.
They used a gentle tone on tone white for the backing, a soft cotton batting and I used an white Omni thread and some free wheeling stitching. I think it a fresh, feminine quilt that will certainly brighten up their Mom’s new digs.
Now that is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun and gorgeous this is and soooo simple a design! Love your quilting too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI hope she likes it! So far the girls do, so that’s good! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting part of this process is seeing the transformations that take place when you combine all the pieces and add that stitching. A simple, traditional quilt that is stitched on the long arm certainly does have a whole different character than one that would be hand quilted. I like both but I really like the ability to add more with the longarm than I might completing it by hand. So far the daughters like it so the true test will be their mom who has hand quilted for decades.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, soft and calm, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carli! The daughters both like it, so hope their mom does, too!
