Bloggers' Quilt Festival is now on!! They say that this is the biggest festival out in quilting-blogland so I am ready to blog-hop my way around to see what everyone is up to! This is so exciting!! It is my first one, can you tell!!?? I hope that if you have popped over to see me please leave a comment with your blog address so I can go visit you too!
My Siblings Together quilt is finally finished and I am so happy to enter it over on Amy's Creative Side for the festival - and to have it done for the Siblings Together charity. I entered to win these wonderful Thomas Knauer fabrics on Lily's Quilts and on April 23rd I was told I had won! Woohoo!! The rules were that the winner was to make a quilt for Siblings Together so I got busy and here is the final creation:
 |
| Yay - my quilt is finally done! I love it! |
- this quilt is finally done [yay]
- I am definitely taking it to the Fat Quarterly Retreat to give to the Siblings Together rep [another yay!]
- a child will go home with a lovely quilt to remember the summer camp where they spent time with their sibling [super big yay...and a wee teardrop]
See the label at the bottom right corner? That's what I made at the Lucie Summers workshop last weekend - my very own quilt care labels!! Instructions are: cool gentle wash, low gentle tumble dryer, no wringing and medium iron. I will get a Sharpie to sign the Siblings Together label and sew that on as well. You can see a bit of my loop-de-loops and my handstitched binding in the mosaic as well. I am so pleased at how it all turned out!
