This story is about a quilt top called Shoshin that QuiltDiva Julie made and sent to me to quilt and gift. The backing and binding were already made- what's not to like about that?
It quilted beautifully with Glide Celery. I straight line quilted the strips, did a loop center motif in the squares and did concentric circle pieces in the setting triangles. Love the binding fabric.
All the ingredients |
Somewhere at finishing the binding up and photographing it on the wall, my granddaughter falls in love and lays claim. I was hesitant, but Julie said ok. Well, she was sick last week with a horrible cold and I watched her some of the days when Mom and Dad were working. And then again, a fever hit her yesterday and today (not Covid). She asked for the quilt and spent a good deal of time under it resting and then took it home.
Poor darling's feverish red cheeks |

Oh it found the PERFECT home!!! it looks amazing on her ;-) Hope she is feeling better!!!
Sometimes a quilt is the very best medicine, especially when it's glorious shades of purple and pink!
That is such a treat that she loved the quilt and wanted to take it home. We don't always get to have the things we love....she's a winner.
I love that she loved the quilt - I had such a good time making the top. You did a wonderful job on the quilting. What a happy ending (so long as she gets to feeling better - then it will be a VERY happy ending).
What a beautiful quilt for a beautiful girl - the perfect match - ;))
Awwww What a perfect gift..one that she loves...Good going Grandma!!! Be so proud xoxo
Clearly that quilt was just the right medicine for her!
I love it! It is so pretty, front and back. I love the binding too. She looks so sweet under it - I think it was meant for her all along.
What a beautiful quilt with lovely quilting and a wonderful quilt story. I hope your granddaughter is well.
A beautiful quilt and I remember Julie stitching this one up. It's a real beauty and your granddaughter is a very lucky girl - apart from being unwell - I hope she recovers quickly. I'm loving the happy smile fas she snuggles under the quilt.
