I started this quilt years ago (pattern from the book
Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns). I bought the blue fabrics on a
trip to Morro Bay. I worked on it for awhile, and then set it aside for a couple of years. I picked it up again in order to finish it as a Mother's Day/Birthday gift for my mom, who has had a tough year.
The hand quilting design was a combination of template (waves), tracing
(rope), and hand drawing (wind). My amazing husband made me a quilt
frame in order to make the hand quilting easier. The frame was
wonderful and I loved spending time sitting at it and quilting. But
it'll be awhile before I can bring it out again, as I don't think Aven
would be able to leave it alone in this phase of development. Sometime
I'll do a post on the frame itself, but for today I thought I would focus on what came off
of it.
