say hello to my first quilt ever—pieced, sandwiched, basted, quilted, trimmed and bound all by me. far easier than i thought it would be with some online advice by redpepperquilts.
the back.
all shipped off to my lovely sister anna. my only regret is that i didn't wait for a day with better lighting, or for my kids to get home from school, to help photograph it. oh well. if i was a perfectionist i would have never started the quilt in the first place.
{anna, maybe you could take some pictures of it when it's up in the nursery? or have angela do it ;-).}
next project: a twin-sized quilt for my sassy niece clara...maybe...or another baby quilt.
eta: i'm not sure if you see the same thing i do, but it looks like my quilt is glowing in these pictures. dirty lens or a sign? what do you think?
ahhh i love it! so much. will you make me one if i'm ever blessed with a baby? :)
ReplyDeletei think these photos are pretty great. but if you want i'll take more in the nursery when it's put together.
That's absolutely gorgeous! You did a great job! :)
ReplyDeleteLike I said on Facebook, I sorta wanna hate you and your mad skillz.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you're so stinkin' likable!
you posted it! I love love love it! so did you quilt it on your machine? or did you send it to someone? I love it. way to go!
ReplyDeleteThis is the closest I've ever felt to being a celebrity.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome. I still can't believe how nice you are. I'm one lucky sister, that's for sure.
It reminds me of Tetris. That's not a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteawe.some. i'm so amazed at you. when do you have time to do it all! like me baby-holding one-handed typing? those are my mad skills.
ReplyDeleteand i cannot wait to read your book. i know you have a million people who want to help you read/edit, but if you're looking for one more, it would be an honor.
and that is quite the skill... that is ME skill. i'm so good.
