I'm going to hand quilt it with perle cotton and if I can somehow get it done by the end of the month, I think I'll submit it to C&T Publishing, which has a call for submissions to celebrate its 30th anniversary with a book on Amish and Amish-inspired quilts.
Bad lighting--the black really is black...
Gabriel turned 11 months. And I finished Ruby's 8-month postcard too, but I haven't sent it yet so you are only subjected to one bad poem.
Thanks, Lee, for hosting us again this week. Welcome back!
Hand quilting sounds like the perfect touch for your fab quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the postcard idea - so sweet. What a lovely Grandma you are!
Ooh, hope you get it done in time for the submission, good luck!

Wouldn't that be fun to submit your quilt. It's gorgeous and the hand quilting will be the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteThat would be an excellent quilt to submit. Here's wishing you speedy fingers!
ReplyDeleteYour Amish quilt is looking lovely. I'm submitting one too but it's an older one that I made up when Roberta Horton first had her book out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving your postcards, even though you say they are "bad rhymes." Not so, Shakespeare!!
