Look! Look!

At what my gorgeous Mum made for me!!!

She is an avid quilter and we started a quilt together to commemorate my 21st birthday. The quilt I had chosen out of the book ended up being super complicated and we never finished it. Ever since then I have constantly complained that EVERYONE but me has a quilt (she makes quilts for weddings, big birthdays, new babies etc). She went of to a quilting retreat a few weeks ago and yesterday she presented me with my very own quilt!! It is SO me!! Two and a half years after my birthday I finally have my quilt!

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Aww that's gorgeous Amy!!
I'm going to upload a picture of one a friend made for Alexander when he was born if that's okay?

[Tinks]

Gorgeous! How lucky are you.

[Rouge]

Absolutely gorgeous Amy!

My son's godmother's mother made Seth a gorgeous Dragon quilt when he was born, we keep it on his wall in his room! I love quilting!

[Trillian]

Ooooh that is sooo pretty! I would have chosen very similar colours myself.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Oooh Cai, how have you hung it? I want to do that with Alexander's quilt as it is so beautifully bright!

[feeb]

Thats pretty!!

A friend made one for Jacob before he was born.

Its winnie the Pooh and friends, such lovely colours and unisex!!!

CM - I want to see little A's quilt!!

I am very lucky - my Mum is very clever. I should take some pics of some other quilts she has done. She enters lots of them in shows and she has won quite a few awards.

Once she made an "Eye Spy" quilt that was HUGE and she didn't know who to give it to - so she anonymously donated it to the Children's Ward at our local hospital.

[Astrid]

Gosh - that is lovely! You have one talented mum.

[Trillian]

CM, I've seen them hung with cloth tabs sewn onto the back of the quilt, then a heavy dowel run through the length of it (about the thickness of a broom stick) then screws in either end and chains attached to it and hung from the ceiling, but back far enough that the quilt is against the wall. It looks very effective to hang them.

what she said *pointing up at Trillian's post*

You can also buy very pretty quilt rod hangers too.

I've got a pic somewhere will find it.

HERE it is (you can see some of it, will find a pic of the whole thing...)
