This vibrant quilt is the very first for a lovely young woman who has recently fallen in love with our passion for quilting.Katie came to us to have the quilt completed but the visit turned into so much more than that. We tweaked her top just a little to get better proportions for the border. We chose a bright green thread to complement the vivid colors of her design - and we talked and talked and talked about her excitement as a new quilter! Her developing love of fabric, pattern and design are so fresh and new and exciting to someone like me who has been doing this for over 30 years.
To top it all off, Katie sent us a hand written thank you note! Her words bear repeating here.
Thank you so much for turning my first quilt into something beautiful. It's a great inspiration to begin a new quilt...I can't wait to being back another quilt.
It was a real pleasure, in so many dimensions, to work with Katie!
