More spring 2011

Hello,

In april of this year there was a planning for a sissy-day. I am so rich that I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers. Unfortunately it could not taken place, because of illness and other sorrow. 

So I decided to make my first quilt of a jelly roll.

The jelly roll and pattern were both still waiting in my cupboard to became a colour-full patchwork-top.

The jelly-roll is from fabric Freedom and was called red-orange.

First of course some details.

The beginning is the patcwork top, here a close-up.

After finishing the top the real work could start...quilting. I choose for 3 different patterns which I really like to quilt, a bird, a heart and a star. This pattern is the silhouet from glas hangers from Hadeland (Norway). When I was a child I got this from my parents and besides the marvelous look of this glas hangers I also honored the form in this quilt- pattern.

Because of the warm colours in this patchwork I gave this work the name "zomer",

this is the dutch word for summer.

By the house where we live there is a public green with a table.

I though that what Mr. Fasset could do, must also be possible for me.

That was a perfect place with sun to fotography my quilt.

Look here for the result!

Thank you for visiting my blog,
