A Pleasure and a Privilege!
It is no small thing to be entrusted to finish off someone else's prized work, that they have put their heart and soul into. We quilters understand that so well, even though some of our non-quilting friends might not quite get it. Not every piece I have worked on has been to my own personal taste, but I have enjoyed them all and done the best work I can on each one. They have played such an important part in my long arm journey and I am thankful for the faith people have had in me.
Then you get asked to finish a piece like this -WOW!
A set of 6 inch blocks each worked to perfection with immaculate appliqué and fussy cutting technique.
I have or have had at least 70 percent of these gorgeous fabrics in my own stash, which made it even more of a joy to look at as I worked.
So pretty!
There was little open space to fill in, apart from a narrow border, so each block needed individual treatment.
This beautiful piece was made by another of my friend Stasha's incredibly talented friends.
You will appreciate how many hours I put in when I tell you that I got through Seasons 1 - 5 of Downton Abbey whilst working!
It has inspired me to try harder on my own appliqué skills, although I still find it hard to cut up my own precious fabrics! Now I have this pile of shapes made with my Apliquick tools and I can get on with my own 'Treasures' project.
Happy Quilting Everyone - Stay safe and keep cheerful!
