It is spread over the couch purely for photographic purposes. I've had too many bedspreads and blankets draped over crappy couches in student houses to want to re-invent that aesthetic now.
As predicted, the kids got a kick out of finding their names quilted in.
The flock of geese got a little look-in, and you can see my average quilting skills in all those puckers.....
With the exception of the cotton thread, I didn't buy a single thing to make this quilt. Even the binding was a remnant from curtains I sewed last year. I'm very happy with this one.
That is GORGEOUS! I love it. So much work. So impressive.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove it! And the names quilted in? GENIUS.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI followed your name back from your comment on Blue Milk - you mentioned sewing, so I knew I had to check out your blog.
The funny thing is that I downloaded (bought) "Flood" a few days ago, because I was feeling nostalgic (My twin brother was a big TMBG fan, and he just became a Dad). I've just introduced the kids to TMBG, and the 6 year old is very taken with "Triangle Man". I don't know many people that have even heard of them, these days.
The quilt is lovely - I really like the colours, and the idea that you quilted the kids names into it - I'll have to try that.
Hi Claire,
DeleteI always thought 'Birdhouse in your soul' would be a great song for kids and can't believe I haven't introduced my own kids to them.
hey Julie,
ReplyDeletewow, you are unstoppable with the sewing machine and blogging. i have allowed my self some time to start reading blogs... maybe I will even be inspired.

And I might have to add TMBG to my music list for the kids.
