There's a new quilt shop starting up near me (about 40 minutes away), The Sewing Room and Workshop. The owner has done custom upholstery for years. Recently she moved to a store front in Mount Carroll, IL, and now has her upholstery shop and a quilt shop. I found her a couple months ago with a small but growing selection of fabric. I bought a small bundle of fat quarters the shop had put together and a couple yards of blue fabric. With a little fabric from my stash, I made Blue Daisies.
This donation quilt is 48" by 58". I looked at patterns that would use fat quarters and finally came up with this design which used almost all of the fabric.
I quilted this with a motif that I call Layered Daisies, using Glide #10877 Sterling Gray thread on the top and #30281 Blueberry on the back.
I used all of the extra pieces of fabric on the back.
The graduation quilt is coming along. I think I figured out my latest problem tonight so hopefully I'll have that kink worked out tomorrow.
The next clue for the Colour Value Mystery QAL came out today and I have it done.
Joanne gives clear, concise instructions and offers options on how to do different things. Today I chose to spin the seams on the QSTs.
Love yellow and blue together and adding the extra bits into the back make a fun addition to the back of the quilt. Another fun donation quilt. How neat you have a new shop opening near you. Hope you both are doing well.
