and... with four boys and no daughter, I am not sure who this quilt is for yet, but it will find a person that it's destined for. I was subject to an ad on facebook by Stitchin' Heaven for this block of the month and it drew me in immediately. I guess they know how to target an audience :) I am hoping the fabrics sent are more on the clear/white/bright side, the quilt that was shared in the ad is what grabbed me. I have seen other BOM's that they have done with this quilt, and they have more of a shade to the background especially.
Episode 1, finished. Some of the text is very narrow so I stitched like I do with stems, across the letter. The more bulky letters will most likely be blanket stitched with my Valdani pearl cotton thread (love that thread!).
Just a couple of links... here it is from the designer (she also has some other great patterns, I purchased two last night!) https://iquiltmodern.bigcartel.com/product/dear-daughter-quilt-subscription-2016
Kits and block of the months are dangerous for me. They are expensive typically, so I do look for deep sale savings. This one is not on sale, and for the cost, I will stay current as the "episodes" (since we do more than 1 block each month) come out.
I think I need to finish up another UFO for my new starts I had this year :) What to pull off the pile...
Gay Bomers did a BOM last year called Dear Daughter, an applique sampler from an antique quilt made in 1850. I made 36 of the 42 blocks.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I love it! I love the bright colors. So what are the other two patterns you purchased? What fun! I love kits and BOM's too!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a fun BOM sometimes. Just purchased the Quilt in a Day Mini Block party. I loved doing the 40 Fabulous Years one and all the Freebies they sent with it. it was only $79. $160 Value, so like half price. Have fun with yours.
