A big thanks to Amy at
City Park Girl for hosting a Bloggers Quilt Festival!
Here's mine:
This quilt came together over a few years and I finished it last fall (2008). Before I even really started quilting I was collecting purple fabrics: charm squares from ebay, hand-me downs from my sister, fat quarters from every fabric store I went into etc... Once I had made my first quilt in 2005 I slowly started cutting the fabrics into 2" squares. Then it sat in a bucket for a long, LONG time. In January 2008 I took it out again, got all the squares cut and started chain piecing...lots of it.
I got the top all pieced before we made a big move,
and after a few months break and moving across the country it got pulled out again and I finally finished it! I love it still!
I made it for our oldest daughter and hope she'll love it for many years too.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comment you left on my entry to the Festival.
I am happy (probably not the right word..) that my work touches so many other people, even if I made it as a way to deal with the whole thing myself. I have to add that I did ask my daughter’s permission to tell our story, and she was only happy I would do it. Some stories just need to be told.
What a beautiful daughter and a beautiful quilt! I love your label with a special verse on it for her.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks thrilled to bits to have such a nice quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest daughter loves purple of all shades and we are at the choosing and buying stage for a design she has picked out.
