The last time I was in Florida, I conned my sister into agreeing to make a quilt for me. I picked out a patten (SO hard), and went shopping for the fabric. While we were picking out fabrics, I fell in love with another pattern and I realised what a rabbit hole quilting can be. I always figured I’d maybe get my quilt the next time I was visiting home. HA!
Fast forward to yesterday and I get a box in the mail. It’s been so long I’d forgotten what I’d even picked out, but gah! I love it!
And so does Pickachu. You can’t easily see it in the picture, but the backing is a map of the world, which just seems to work perfectly. Tucked into the box were a few surprises too:
A quilted pad for Pickachu’s hammock;
Three new oven mitts and 4 new hot pan pads, as well as a few knitted nests for us to use to hold eggs while we play Wingspan.
And wait! There’s more! I got ANOTHER quilt!
Each book is one of my personal canon titles, and each one is quilted differently. They’re all awesome, but a few standouts:
I’d have rather gone home to collect my goodies in person, but they DID arrive just in time for S. Hemisphere’s winter and are doubly welcome. I’m looking forward to a winter of reading while cozied up underneath my personal canon.
Wow,the one with the covers is absolutely fabulous!
Isn’t it? I can’t believe how wonderful it turned out. I love them both, but my book quilt feels like another level of special. 🙂
For reasons I cannot even guess at, the WP app shows most of my pics either sideways or upside down. The website page looks right though – anybody else seeing wonkiness?
No wonkiness. Everything the right way around.
Everything looks ok to me.
Wow. They‘re stunning, especially the one with the book covers. And I love the smaller things as well. So pretty!
Wow!!! Just WOW! I’m speechless at how utterly beautiful these are.
I know – she did such an amazing job on them. I’ll be sure to let her know she’s getting compliments. 😀
Send my own congratulations as well, that’s some amazing work.
Damned if your sister isn’t one very talented and accomplished quilter! What treasures she has created.
She truly is – it’s probably better that I live on the other side of the planet, or else I’d drive her crazy with constant requests. 😀
