First, our friend Jeanne severed a nerve in her hand. She has an amazing blog about her road to recovery. We wanted to do a little something for her just to let her know that we love and support her, so obviously we collaborated on a quilt.
This was my vision. Look how great it looks. I promise it will look better when it's finished.
Eddy started us off with the paper piecing and applique.
Then I took over and did some fancay free motion quilting.
Then Eddy took, took over and added these milagros for luck.
Then I took, took, took over and added the binding and backing and two little sleeves for hanging.
We sent it along to Jeanne with some local jams and about 3 million well-wishes.
The second good friend who got a quilt this winter is my dear friend, Laura.
I started with some fabrics from my stash.
And I used a pattern that reminded me of my favorite painting that she painted when we were in high school.
The icing on the cake is that Eddy and I actually got to hang out with Laura in DC in December! Here we are with a literal Jolly Green Giant made of plant matter.
Here's the most adorable picture ever of my two favorite goofballs in front of a model of the Capitol made entirely out of plant matter.
No plants were harmed in the making of this blog post.
Yayayaya! It's so funny that you posted this today because literally the only thing on my to do list for tonight is to hang this uop finally! Thank you so much for making this and for the jams. You guys are the best!!!!
