Phew! she liked it

Well the quilt went down a treat - thank goodness!
The housewarming was a lovely, fun night.  Bec put on a great spread of gluten free food - all yummy stuff - and we all had a wonderful time, catching up with family and celebrating the move into her own new home - always a huge step for anyone.  And she loved the quilt.
What a relief!!
There's something undescribably pleasing about making something for someone who utterly appreciates the work and love that goes into it, and that makes it all worthwhile.
In fact, I got a few "ooooh, I'd love one too" comments - so who knows, I might be able to improve if I do a few more - but I think I'll have a break for a while and get back into my one true love - stitching (or at least until I find a good professional quilter)..

  1. Of course I love the quilt! It's beautiful and it means so much knowing it was designed and all stitched by you. I feel very lucky to have such a thoughtful, caring and clever Aunt! The quilt now has pride of place on my couch and it makes my apartment feel so much more warm and homely. I will treasure the quilt and hope to pass it on to my children too. Love you!
