This quilt is the story of two lives inter-twined, through the use of color, and phrases, and the dates important events occur in their lives. Places, times, events, all recorded in tiny stitches throughout.
So I don't know why the colors are so, so, vibrant? The bunny is cobalt, but here he looks positively electric. The orange is supposed to be almost tangerine, but this looks again, electric. Anyway, this is one of my favorite quilts. The colors came together so well, they play together so nicely, I almost wanted to keep it for myself. But, it was promised to someone else, and it will be going to a very nice woman and her new baby boy. It's so soft, and cuddly, I'm just going to have to make one for myself!
I've been sewing since I was 4. Barbie doll clothes made way for maxi skirts, to mini skirts, to 3 piece suits. Upholstered pieces followed, and then I learned how to quilt.
I can create a quilt, quilted jacket, slipcovered chair with antlers, slipcovered chair that would be better received under the sea! Contact me at pinkearscreative@gmail.com with questions and requests, and together we'll design something no one else will ever have.
