Those of you that read my blog regularly, have heard me mention my friend Elena. And many of you might even remember the many pictures taken at her beautiful shop Giving Tree.
So, while I sit here this very springy saturday afternoon, keeping an eye on my littlest one who has had a fever since yesterday, and stitching the last of my klosjes, I am delighted in her sharing her quilt with you.
Hello everyone!
Valentina is a very special friend of mine, we spend many mornings together quilting and chatting (Valentina the former and I the latter, if i'm to be honest!). The other day she suggested that I make a 'guest appearance' on her blog. The reason being that I have finished my first hand quilted quilt.
I must mention that this quilt has been a labour of love for many reasons. I started making it for another very dear friend when her fiance proposed to her, as a wedding gift to them. Most of its making up time was made at home with Valentina and the quilting part at my home or in between my children's activities. ( v: she has 5!!!)
I hope it brings a smile to your faces as much as it has to mine, humble as it is I feel a huge sense of achievement having made it. Thank you dearest friend for your patience and kindness.
Warmest wishes to you all
Elena

Elena, may this quilt be the first of many many more! :)
And my Klosjes update will be following tomorrow.
Have a lovely weekend, enjoying your loved ones and stitching,
Valentina and company.

beautifull quilt Elena! I used the same pattern for my first one and I still like the pattern very much. You are making lots of klosjes Valentina, I was thinking today maybe I should make more too to make a more usable size.... I will think about it.

Elena and Valentina Yahoo (loud wistle the kind with your fingers in your mouth) The greatest sign of appreciation in every day Australian life.

Wat een mooie log cabin is dat. Prachtig. En dank je voor de zonnestralen ze zijn hier aangekomen want buiten schijnt de zon hier nu ook.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious quilt! Funny that you should show the cyclamen, I found 2 mystery tubers and after a big Blog debate, we think they are cyclamen :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat Quilt Elena made! So if Elena has the quilt bug, she perhaps will soon have the blog bug??
ReplyDeleteYou can infect her Valentina...LOL
I love, love the tile floor in the photo, and the flowers in the suitcase too
