Opening day

This is the front of the lovely little doll quilt made for me by Denni. Isn't it sweet.
This pic doesn't quite pick up the colours but it was the best I could do.
Look at the fantastic free-motion applique.


This shot was taken outside to try and pick up the texture of the applique and quilting.

This is the back and you can clearly see all the tiny stitches in the hand quilting.

The label is made using a photo of the front of the quilt.
I feel very lucky to be given something that has been made with such care.
Thanks Denni!

EBDQS - my new quilt

This is the lovely doll quilt that was made for me by the very talented Alissa.


The background is all pieced and the tree, leaves and hearts are all free-motion, raw-edge appliquied on.

The bright blue backing contrasts wonderfully with the threads used so it looks just as great from the back.



It will go straight on the wall in my sewing room to inspire me. One day I hope to be able to produce something similar!

The photos are a bit dodgy but I'm running late this morning and will be back to put better ones in tonight.
