I love to hear the story behind a quilts creation. When I met Jessica she told me that she would spend summers with her Grandma as a child and that is where she learnt to sew and how to quilt.
Together they began a sampler quilt…time moved on and life took over, school friends teen activities etc.
During her final years of University she inherited her Grandma’s sewing machine and decided to complete the sampler quilt and gave me the privilege of quilting it for her.
There are so many beautiful blocks in this quilt and the colours are amazing.
Finding a backing for this large queen size quilt that she liked for her quilt was difficult and so she chose solid black yardage which I pieced for her. She chose the pantograph Here and There for its heart like design linking the love between her and her Grandmother.
She also chose white bobbin thread which would create more interest to the solid black backing.
Her quilt is trimmed and ready for binding and will be completed just as she graduates from University.
I love the beauty of the stitches on both the front and back of her quilt!
