She's an experienced garment sewer, but my friend (blogless) Di has only recently caught the quilting bug (I confess I infected her).
This is her very first quilt - isn't it fun and fabulous?
She adapted a pattern from a past issue of "Australian Patchwork & Quilting", called "Sophie's Bears", using brights instead of the pastels in the original quilt, and although we had one stitching day together (as I worked on my "Chocolat" quilt) she did it all herself.This is her very first quilt - isn't it fun and fabulous?
I just love the fabrics she's already bought for her next one, hydrangeas in gorgeous blues and soft lime greens. Watch this space!
What a lovely bright fun quilt! I'll only believe it's her first because you say so. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, the quilting conversion has happened. How long before the blogging conversion? lol
Obviously, Blogless Di has her act together. She has a personal infector, errr instructor; a wonderful color sense; and her priorities are in order...she's actually MAKING quilts, instead of blogging about quilts as the rest of us do! You go BD!
ReplyDeleteNo, she can't get a blog!!! Blogless Di is a fabulous name... it really makes a statement!
ReplyDelete(Excellent quilt, by the way.)
Wow ... that's amazing for a first quilt. Has your friend got a blog yet?! x
