I started working on these quilts in the summer but couldn’t post anything about them until now. I know my dad doesn’t read my blog (he’s only really recently aware of computers at all) but my mom does (hi mumma!) so I had to keep it all on the dl. Until now.
The first one is for my dad, it’s a design by Boo Davis. Her work is amazing, buy her book now. NOW. Can you tell it’s a tree? Once this one is finished (I had a minor setback, ahem) I will have a hard time handing it over. It’s going to have a navy back and straight quilting.
The second on is for my mom and is my own design. It looks a lot more complicated than it actually is. Well. It took a lot of work, to be fair, but I simplified my life by buying solid colour jelly rolls, sewing strips of colour to strips of white, and on and on until I got this. The back of it will be red and I’m planning on doing a diagonal quilting pattern. Libs says it’s hard but we’ll see!
These pictures suck, sorry. I’ll take better ones when they’re finished.
Here’s an idea of what the beginning of my mom’s looked like:
Both of these are so gorgeous. I was completely bowled over. Thanks so much Honey. xoxo
Gorgeous…but you KNOW that! Still insanely jealous of your sewing ablities!
incredible!!! wish I was there to see them in person and to see the looks on Mum and Dad’s faces!
Miss you always, but specially at this time of year
