Alyce at
Blossom Heart Quilts has kindly allowed me to be a guest on her blog! You may remember hearing Alyce's name on some of my previous posts - Alyce was one of the two hosts of the
Sew Seasonal Blog Hop that I participated in. Have a look at the first quilt I made (I'm sure you'll think I'm very brave for showing it to the world - and Alyce even braver for allowing me to premiere it on her blog!!). I'm not sure if I should disclose this or not, but when I was rummaging through my fabric for one of my bee blocks I found some of the fabric that I used in this quilt. I'm not sure if that's good or not!!
Alyce very recently completed a beautiful quilt for her sister and shares the reason why it was such an emotional finish in
this post.
While you are visiting
Alyce's blog have a look at the
Japanese Bundle Club in her etsy shop - they come in fat 1/8's or fat quarters!
Congratulations! But I don't understand ... why brave?? It's beautiful <3 How long ago did you make it??
ReplyDeleteThanks Gab - it really is quite terrible in real life. At this very moment Eli is sitting on it while he eats an apple! I made it in the late 1990's - must have been 1997 or 1998.
DeleteIt was fun hearing about your first quilts!!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see how my style has developed over the years!
DeleteWe're always so critical of our own work, particularly early work ... but I think it's lovely, and apparently, so does Eli!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo true. It is certainly a very practical quilt! Use it, throw it in the washing machine, use it, throw it in the washing machine, and on it goes!!
