Well I can finally show you the beautiful quilt that my sewing group, Bobbins, made for one of our members, Kate.
When one of our ladies celebrate a major birthday, or even something else memorable, the girls all get together, behind her back, and make blocks that we feel represent her interests, and then put them together in a quilt which we then surprise her with.
Kate runs a sewing studio as well as being our gorgeous motivator and friend. It was her 60th birthday and we all know she loves pinks and shabby chic. We decided to use a quilt template and here is the finished quilt and a few of the blocks the girls made:
The centre block was a heart with all her family names embroidered around it. We do a quilt label on the back with all our names and date so she can have happy memories.
