CREATIVE SPACE | NANA’S QUILT

…the quilt label – it’s our pet names for each other…

The quilt I made for my Nana is done and winging it’s way to sunny North Queensland.  I picked it up from on Altogether Quilting Monday.  Once again Helen has out done herself and taken something that I wasn’t exactly thrilled with and turned into something I adore.

…the front of the quilt (forgive the ironing board legs)…

I don’t know what it is but a finished patchwork never seems to hold the same level of magic for me that a finished quilt does.  I’m so over the moon with how this quilt has turned out. (I just wish I could take a picture that does it justice!)

I spent an hour with Helen looking over photos of other quilts that she’s done over the years when I went to pick up my quilt and it’s inspired me to enroll in a quilt class with Addicted to Fabric.  I did a class a few years back and wasn’t really happy with what I learned or the style of the class, but I’ve heard great things about this class so I’m quietly confident that I might just pick up some more skills.

I guess it’s time now to make a quilt that’s going to stay in this house.  I’ve made two and both of them live in different places.  I just wish the t-shirt quilt that I’ve started wasn’t so painful! (hee hee hee)
