First of all, quality of my quilting is still very poor. Yes, it is improving, but still far from bearable. I believe that giving a crap as a present is totally wrong - the people who will be recieving H2H quilts, have had enough troubles in their lives already, I do not want to add one more. So Sarah agreed to do the quilting from the beginning which I'm really thankful for. If not such offer to help, I wouldn't dare to participate. I know my limits.
The second is shipping costs. The full quilt would be way over 50 bucks by snailmail from here to US and for me it's not reasonable. For that amount I can buy one on Etsy for H2H project right in US but then there would be no fun for me.
So... It's only a top which will be turned into a quilt on American ground. Because of this (only half of the project is mine) I'll let Sarah decide which charity it goes to.
it is beautiful .. and a joint effort will make it all the more precious and loved xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful quilt top. So nice of you to send it to the US to help someone in need.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the part you did and sometimes those joint venture quilts truly find the most comfort.
ReplyDeleteWell and that certainly is an amazing top. What pattern is it? I think it's just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteSue, I have no clue what pattern it is - all my designs I make myself, according to what fabric and tools I have at hand. This one started because of my favorite metal ruler (4 cmX 100 cm), easy to cut fabric stripes. I'm not sure I can call it original because it is so simple that somebody somewhere probably have had made it already, but if you want, I can try to write a tutorial.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Ann, and I really appreciate the tutorial in your newer post! I'll be sure to quilt it as soon as I can after it arrives and will send you a picture of it when it is finished. I'll be sending it to New York for Hurricane Sandy survivors. Thanks for participating in the Challenge this year - I hope you'll join us next year too!
