The quilt made with scraps from other projects and worn out linen garments made its way out to Detroit, tucked into our CRV along with the usual requested jugs of maple syrup and other Vermont products. Elderly Javier, the once feral cat, and one of my beloved cat grands gave it his sign of approval, along with his little human, Freya.
This quilt was made with such joy, using many traditional blocks from the wonderful Sara Buscaglia’s “quilt-along” this summer. I wanted to make a quilt for a three year old, transitioning to her “big girl” bed, but I did not want it to be juvenile. Resisting the choice of a pastel for the borders, I chose instead a soft brown that picks up the browns in many of the prints. Hopefully, the Liberty, William Morris and other classic prints will pull this quilt into Freya’s future. Sending it off to a long arm quilter was a splurge.
Thank you for all the love and concern for my Mumsie. She is hoping to return to her assisted living community on Monday, fingers crossed. It has been a journey. xo
I’ll post again soon, with fun updates on our Thanksgiving trip and many things Decembery.
