Hi everyone,
I have been a bit slack lately. While I have been making cards, I have also been quilting quilts.
This one is an example. This one also has a story behind it.
Some years ago I made this top and our son suggested making a doona out of it. So I gave it a go. Our son and his wife used it for a while. However it started to come undone. Yes, that made sense. I can be a bit slow. I usually need to have a go and see what happens. It is probably experience. After all, at the time I couldn't see why not.
Anyway the quilt was returned to me and became one of those insidious UFO'S. It sat and sat on a chest of drawers among other UFO's.
Probably thanks to the COVID19 virus, I found time to quilt it. Woohooo. IT IS FINISHED. I need to practice at stipling and this was another practice. Once I finished, I realised that I didn't fix the two seams that were coming undone. A bit late now. If you look closely you will find two names embroidered on the quilt. I wanted to put 'Love You' but I didn't think our adult son would approve. When I asked, he said I could have.
Anyway the smile, cuddle and glint in his eyes was worth all the thinking of how this was going to be finished. Similar to his kid's quilts I backed it with polar fleece. He fills the cold terribly so he will have something to snuggle into and be warm instantly.
I hope you like this story. Something a bit different.
Blessing to you
