So I decided to enter Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival this year. I've always loved reading about the entries, but I've never entered myself. Kinda nervous about it....
This is my entry for the modern category, and my most favorite quilt of all time! I made it for my dear friend who was going through stage 3 ovarian cancer (she's all good now), and despite how much I love her, I still had a hard time handing it over.
It's Carolyn Friedlander's pattern 'Facing East' from her book 'Savor Each Stich'. The pattern was perfect for my friend and challenging for me because I had never paper-pieced before (crazy, I know).
I loved adding little details and fabric scraps that were meaningful to my friend. It was such a pleasure to make!
My quilt holder really wanted a picture with our local sasquatch....
Thanks for checking it out! You guys are awesome!
Wow, lucky us you entered this beautiful quilt so we can see it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome quilt! I love that it was your first foray into paper piecing! Nothing like jumping right in and doing it! :) I can imagine that it was very difficult to hand it over but I'm sure it provides your friend with so much joy! So glad to hear she is doing well!
