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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design, Jeanne! Who doesn't love a pattern that is an efficient use of fabric? Best of luck with the "fix" for the grad quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have an antique love seat that needs to be recovered (and work on it). I'll see if she can do it. I've been trying to find someone for along time now.
