Remember back in October of last year at the cabin the week after conference? When I stayed for a week and got to hang out with Josh and Meredith and Nats and Robert? N & R were working on their kitchen table re-do and Meredith was learning how to sew and making a 'project'. Well, here is the finished project! She made Josh a Harry Potter quilt for his Christmas gift. Click on it to enlarge it and look at the details. She backed it with a soft black velour and had it quilted with spirals all over. The larger appliques are outlined so their shapes show up on the back. Josh LOVED it. She is a 'goer', and wasn't sure she would like doing piecework, hand work, etc. But she discovered she really likes this kind of craft and is anxious to do another.Now she wants to build a fabric supply. That is good to remember for gift giving!
Good work Meredith. This was quite an ambitious project for a beginner and you did an amazing job. You'll have to teach me some good tips!
