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.
