But many a time, somewhere in all of that process, a quilt design takes on its own personality, and I feel I am just the vehicle for the power of the design to come through. Not all designs take on a life of their own, but many do, and I am not always aware of it when I'm in the throes of creating, whether it's the drawing on graph paper, colouring, EQ, cutting, figuring, sewing or quilting part of the entire process. It's very raw, but if someone can do what Lindsay did, which helped Lindsay herself deal with her tragedy, and then can in turn help someone else deal with a similar tragedy, what a wonderful act this was. Lindsay's posts helped Dayna in knowing what to say to her friend, and then Dayna, in turn, gave the link to her friend to read the story, which has helped her. I've mentioned this terrific food blog several times. They leave on Sunday.Įdit: I pointed Dayna in the direction of Lindsay's posts about the loss of her son, Afton, during her second trimester, on Pinch of Yum. And besides, we all know that I work well to deadlines.You see, Dayna and Tyler are going to Alberta to spend Christmas with Brianne and Brady (I may be a tad jealous), and she wants to give the quilt to her friend when they are there. Yes, this quilt is one of those squirrels that happen due to a sad event, but most necessary to chase with laser focus. And, as designs are wont to do, this design became much more than I'd originally thought. I sent her a couple of images I found on Pinterest, we chatted several times, and somewhere in the conversation I said what if I design one with hearts floating all over it. When Dayna's good friend in Alberta lost her baby in her second trimester, in November, she talked at length to me about it, and one of the first things she asked was if I could make her a quilt. This quilt is also a squirrel, a 'Drop Everything And Make it!' project, which I will link up with my party on the last Saturday of the month where we celebrate all those DrEAMi projects. I do believe the only previous commissioned quilt was my mum's request in 2016 for one for her brother, which I called con fuoco. More on this in my 2019 Review and Planning for 2020 post.
It includes the pattern and all the fabric needed for the quilt top AND table runner - including the binding for both as well! Backing is NOT included.This has been another year for new experiences, and, as I approach a rather sobering milestone in 2020, I am quietly pleased that I am still learning, still trying new things, still up for challenges. This quilt and table runner KIT contains fabrics from the Adel In Autumn fabric collection by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. Please see the third image for a more accurate depiction of the color. PLEASE NOTE: The "Persimmon" color the border is made with is a slightly different shade in person than it is on the pattern.
A 10" Stacker from the fabric line Adel in Autumn by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs along with the added recommended yardage makes both projects. These little turkeys are sure the sky is falling and they are running for their lives.
