I was one of those people who failed at speed tests consisting of a jumble of similar words, how about you? Could you say that sentence 10 times super fast?
Let me stick with quilting.............today I handed back a very unique quilt to Sue and her husband who graciously allowed me to quilt their magical creation. Made for their beach loving daughters 18th birthday.
Designed and created by Sue and Graham. They wanted to make a quilt that was the essence of their daughter and all she loves. Now I must point out that these amazing parents are not quilt makers, in fact this is their very first attempt!
As I loaded this 77" square quilt on my machine I moved myself into 'the zone'........the beachy zone. I knew the log cabin centre was to represent the sun, then there was the beach, pebbles, shells, waves and boardwalks.
Last but not least on this fabulous, unique, keepsake quilt the back.
Still on the beachy theme I snapped this photo of some new street art here in Whangarei.
All I can say is Wow!!!!

Wow!!! Yes, the same from me as from Margaret, I cannot find one word to say how totally amazing this is. and I wonder if all those hearts with an arrow have words? What a treasure of a birthday gift. Thank you so much for sharing.

ReplyDeleteNon-quilters! So awesome! Why do quilters get themselves all tangled up in worrying about how hard something might be - these non-quilters put us to shame! And your quilting just finishes it to perfection.
ReplyDeleteDitto to Charlotte's comment - I can't even fathom how it is all put together. Quite incredible. And yes, that quilting is amazing. Would have been fun to put your own creative spin on such an imaginative quilt.
