Happy Wednesday!
Gail asked me in a comment how I came up with the name of my blog.
You can click on the top of the page that says "About Me" and that will give you a brief overview.
Since I'm a visual learner I thought I'd show you some beautiful amazing humble quilts!
As fantastic as these quilts are, I do not believe any of them would ever get a ribbon at a show in 2013.
This wreath is not round. Even if the quilt was completely flat against the wall it would not be round. And look at those quilted circles! Silly, but charming!!
There isn't much perfectly round about this, but isn't it exquisite? That fabric is lovely!
I really do not think the maker meant attach the flying geese the opposite way as the rest of the blocks. I do not know very many quilters that would have left it that way. I try and learn from past quiltmakers and I would leave it in. I think it is so delightful!
This quiltmaker did not line up her red stripes at all! Gasp!
All that applique for the border to be chopped off!
Oops, this quilter ran a little short...... oh well.... she'll make do.
That make-do border is on this wonderful quilt.
So, you see, I make many unintentional mistakes in my quilts and they remind me of the humble quilts of old. All of my quilts are made to be used, washed, loved and repaired.
PS- On that note I got a call from Denmark and my quilt (and my son) is loved. She told me she plans on bringing it to her chemo treatments as she did get chilled at her first treatment. I know she loves it and treasures it and yea, it's got a whopper error in it, but she only sees the love.
PSS- There is still plenty of time to get in on my 4 year celebration! Click
