GARDEN OF HAPPINESS AND GRACE
I made this quilt for a Christmas gift which I just finished yesterday- so I am late as usual. The person I made this for loves blue, green and yellow so I used these colors from my stash to make this quilt. This quilt works for our requirements as well, just in 3 colors but lots of shades of these colors. I love lots of color so this was fun to do. I used the English paper piecing for the flowers and then machine pieced the borders and machine quilted the rest. It is a lap size 45" by 51". I put a quote on the back which I love and want to share it with all of you.

ReplyDeleteThis quilt is amazing. I appreciate all the workmanship or is that workwomanship that you put into it. Amazing! My mother is still quilting at 94. I know the amount of energy you have put into this piece. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou asked what other classes I have taken online. I have take about five Jane Davies classes and some Juliana Coles classes. I wish Holly Roberts would do an online class. I love the way she thinks and creates. Do you know her work? http://hollyrobertsonepaintingatatime.blogspot.co.uk/ . She lives in New Mexico. If you get a chance, read her blog entries and get to know her.
