Being back in our farm garden always gives me a chance to take nice quilt photos! This quilt was won by my brother in a local charity raffle and was made by my lovely friend, Princess Martha.
Such a fresh and happy quilt. My brother likes to pretend he wasn't too excited about winning a 'girly' quilt, but let me tell you, he was on the phone immediately to boast about his win!
The fabrics The Princess has used are Mary Engelbreit 'Friends & Flowers' for Moda. She very artistically pieced the back. The artistry was lost on my brother, but I love it! And it is beautifully stippled all over.
Gorgeous quilt, Princess - you were very generous to give this one up!
Thankyou Ros for you kind words. I laughed when your brother won, I thought the last thing he probably needed was another quilt! Haha. He did ask me about the "t" on the back, it made me giggle, I just explained it was a quilters way to utilise all the fabrics, avoid waste. Your photography is simply amazing, makes the quilt look better than I remember that's for sure. It was a pleasure to donate it to the local Cancer Support Group, I believe they raised alot of money in the raffle. Thanks again for mentioning me on your blog.xxx
