Int B, by Beatrice Findlay |
Getting a Facebook message from my friend Bobbi, saying: "A lot to be proud of, Mom." Caught my eye, when the message came into my phone... Quilts were hung for the Mancuso PA show.
When I opened the message, I found the image above of Beatrice's "Your Personal App" quilt!
Yes, My daughter who says she is not a quilter, has made a few quilts in her day. (you saw I got her into EPP this summer? hehe score!) I have to say, I've taught her the basics of using a sewing machine, but not much more... She has always had a go-getter-I'll-do-it-myself, kind of personality, and I've always let her. I don't push her to do my thing, I want her to do her thing. When I was asked to make my own "personal App quilt" they said, "Do you think Beatrice would make one?" I said, "Ha!, I doubt it. "
She proved me wrong! When I said the quilts would be a traveling exhibit, she said, yes!
So, yes, Bobbie, I am so very proud of her.
The challenge was to make a quilt that represented "you." What would that app look like? Above you can guess what my daughter is into... Coding. This was made, two years ago, now I think? Cant' real exactly, but her interests are the same. She's a girl on her own mission. Gosh, I do I love that. So Proud!

My "Farm Girl" quilt, ( quilted by Karen McTavish) which won Best Machine work at the World Quilt Show, will be at several of the Mancuso upcoming shows.
Pacific International Quilt Show
OH, and also I heard that one of my newest quilts, "Cascade" was hurried into the Mancuso QuiltFest Oasis Show in Palm Springs! You have not seen that quilt yet... I will wait for another day to share that quilt. So if you get a chance to visit the upcoming shows, take a picture for me!
Friend and awesome quilters, Sarah Bond, Also had a coupe quilts at the PA show. Her quilt above, was made using all of my Mostly Manor fabric line!(available in my webshop) Isn't it stunning? I was lucky enough to have her commode rot my studio one day, and she worked on it, in my studio... It's so pretty, I almost did not let her leave with it... Way to go Sarah!. You rock!
Now what can you do with Meadow Storm?
The challenge is set! hehe!
