With the holidays over and the kiddos back in school, I pretty much have the days to spend cavorting with my sewing machine. Exciting stuff, a friend of mine has asked me to create some quilts to be used as baby shower gifts! I finished my first one this week using the colors found in the Enchanted Hollow bedding set (Eddie Bauer)
and a Hopscotch pattern found on http://quilting.about.com/od/babyquiltpatterns/ss/hopscotch-quilt-pattern.htm . I really enjoyed the pattern, so simple but looks so elegant. It turned out so lovely.
Have to say, I'm pretty happy with this one...I'm rather excited by the challenge of creating quilts using colors schemes chosen by someone else. This gives me the opportunity to explore new patterns which stretches my ability. I am tickled and a little proud that she has so much faith in me. I appreciate the work and the chance to share the joy of quilts.
