I look forward to the Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy Ellis every year as it is good to see all the great quilts out there and meet old and new quilting friends.
This year I am submitting my 'Weight of Love' quilt in the hand quilted category.
I started this quilt in Libs Elliot's workshop with the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. Libs has a very trendy, techno, digital vibe in her work so I decided to take a different slant when putting her 'Weight of Love' pattern together. I went with more classic Peppered Cottons from Studio E fabrics. The colors are very saturated and have great depth.
A ton of Y-seams later, I decided to hand quilt using DMC Perle Cotton thread in similar saturated colors.
I simply love the texture it created.
