The easy part was choosing the fabric, cutting things out and organizing the strips. At first when I started to sew it together, it was looking a bit odd, but as I progressed, it became clear that I was heading in the right direction. I hand quilted the remainder of the potholder. This little project definitely gave me the quilting bug. One day soon... It's times like these that I wish I had a rich heritage in handmade creations where grandmother passess her knowledge down to mother, who in turn passes her skill to daughter. Alas, I will have to become the grandmother who does the passing, though that won't be for quite a while.
I totally agree with you. I too will the one that passes the handmade bug on ...
ReplyDeleteLooks great, as always. My mom always said she would like to get into quilting and has made about 5 so far, of the same pattern. Turns out that my Grama was into it before she passed away. I'm just a beginner and slow at it. With a little time though...
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Such a pretty choice of colors :)
ReplyDeleteMonica, I think our kids will appreciate it in the long run and they will have the memories long after we are gone.
ReplyDeleteKarla, I think quilting is meant to be a slow and savory learn. A kind of refinement of skill over the years. Slow is good.
Beki, thanks for dropping by :) I love the colors too! I keep thinking of making my girls an outfit in those colors. The dots are my favorite, though it is hard to make them out on the potholder.
