It took quite a while for me to get these personal quilts done, but perseverance pays off. I love my bedroom now. Here is a photo of the quilt made from our wedding Huppah and the signature quilt of wedding guests on the wall. The quilt has my favorite design, The Seed of Life. I went very simple with my quilt, it does not have any bias tape on it. I usually make the seed look stained glass with black bias tape and then I have been known to lay down miles of colored bias tapes in Celtic knot work around the borders. (Visit my website gallery to view several versions of this great design, www.mountainjoyquilts.com).
I had a very busy weekend with the 1st Annual Gilpin County Artist Open Studio Tour. I had over 30 people come visit my studio which is really good considering how far from the beaten track I live. Everyone was just delightful. They loved my work, my long arm, and my funky mountain home. It was a great experience for me and I loved meeting all the new people.
Looks like rain today or possibly our first snow? I must get to work now, I have a queen size quilt to do today. I hope everyone has a fabulous week! Keep on creating!
