Goose on the Loose
I recently was commissioned by a long time friend to make a special quilt for one of her friends. She really did not know what she wanted other than the fact that she wanted to include a Bible verse on the quilt and she wanted blues. She did not want a bed size quilt either. We discussed a few designs and styles then this quit in Quiltmaker magazine sparked an interest for me. I really loved the background fabric used in this pattern plus I thought the center block would be perfect for embroidery of the Bible verse. Of course, 2 shopping trips and 3 stores later; I did not find ANY fabric similar to the one used in the magazine example. But in the end, I think my version worked out very nicely. The client commented how I often feel - she wants to keep it for herself! The client has a menagerie of animals so when these 2 came out for quality assurance inspections, I did not shoo them away. They were so happy with the results, they kissed! Awwwww.
