It's time to get back to posting about life in the sewing room! I wanted to show you the quilt I sewed this spring/early summer. I couldn't post pictures until this birthday gift was given away to the intended recipient.
The hymn panels were so fun to sew and color-coordinate with the chapel frames, doors, and steeples. Each hymn was one of my favorites as I worked on it.
The fabric is Songbook created by Stephanie over at Fancy That Design House, and the quilt pattern is called Firm Foundation, written by Anna at My Wandering Path.
Here's the quilt on our bed to display each of the chapels and hymn panels:
The back is flannel and was quilted (by Maureen at The Quiltery in Fairfield) with musical notes, which show up well against the solid backing. As you can see from the label, it's being gifted to my friend Kathy for her 60th birthday:
And here are my able-bodied quilt holders getting in on the action! I have enough fabric and hymn panels to make another quilt, but I have more projects to complete before beginning the same exact quilt again:
So today I traveled to North Garden, Virginia, about an hour away, to rendezvous with my friend at Dr. Ho's Humble Pie...I'd never been there before...yay for new experiences!
It was a fun outing, even though neither one of us ordered their famous pizza pie!
Afterwards, I mentioned I had a birthday gift out in my vehicle for her. After she saw the big gift bag, I'm not sure I surprised her. After all...what could it be but a quilt!? :)
I think she liked it! Mission accomplished!
Now I need to figure out my next project! Stay tuned for whenever it's gifted.
