I made a quilt for my daughter this spring in celebration of her high school graduation. She picked out the fabrics and I made the quilt. The fabrics tended to give me a headache after awhile as it was very busy. But now that I see it on her bed at college, it is absolutely her and she loves to snuggle with it when she studies. So that's all that counts when you give a quilt as a gift: that it is used and appreciated. I do miss her but know she is enjoying the college life. Except for the work. Isn't that why they are there?
I have finished one piece this weekend and am working on another for you tomorrow. I have questions about showing you a piece I may submit to a quilt show so must reconcile that before I post. I am just figuring out what is appropriate to post and not. If anyone has any good references for that , let me know. Also, my class starts tomorrow night for photography. We will have a final project due so am really excited.
Knowing I have an audience is really motivating me to complete my work. Thanks for stopping in. Happy sewing my friends.
I know some people only show a detail shot (or none at all) rather than a picture of the whole quilt they want to submit to a show. That way they comply with the rules and satisfy the need to share. Some shows are picky, some are not. But now you've got my curiosity up!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt for Erin. I had to chuckle at the irony of the quilt (that's for your teenaged (for a couple of more years) daughter) giving you a headache.
