We made a little trip recently to join the celebration of our cousin's 34 years in ministry. Of course I had to make a quilt for her!
She is such a pretty, dainty lady and these fabrics seemed just right for her. (She likes red, too!)
I really love how it came together. I had several ideas, but this one is the one I chose, and I think it worked out well!
As always, I am so thankful for my quilt machine! I've had it for a while now, and I have never regretted buying it. Or being thankful for my sweet Mr. Muddling being with me every step along the way. It does help to have a cheering section!
I used this golden print as backing and bound it with the same solid red as the borders and sashing.
It did look mighty comfortable out on the patio, but she is enjoying it in her home!
We've had temperatures of near 100F (or more) every day for a couple of weeks, and it's not over yet. So far everything is staying alive. Matter of fact, it looks rather like a jungle in spots! We do have rain barrels and are thankful for that added resource in these hot days.
I hope all is well in your part of the world. I know I've been absent for far too long. Somehow, I just couldn't seem to get to it. I have another quilt to show, but we'll let that wait for later!
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

What a beautiful quilt! Of course I love red too.
That's great that you have a rain barrel to help the plants survive in the heat.
That is a gorgeous gift. You have reflected her personality beautifully in that quilt. I am sure it will be treasured.
Aren't gardens amazing in the way they can handle the heat. Good to see yours lasting so well.
