Oh Carol, that was beautiful, your Mum would be so proud of your quilt xxxx

Sorry for your loss. What a wonderful quilt full of memories and a stunning memorial for Connie.

Sniff..beautifully put, we’ve all been there

What a beautiful Memorium to your Mum.

I’m sure your mum would be proud to know you had named your quilt in her honour, and know that love is In every stitch. A fitting tribute indeed xx

Very well written Carol, you are so brave and have hidden strength as I don’t think I could of written it so soon after my mum passing. So full of memories for you and your loving family and yes Corrie will be so proud of you and sure she is smiling at you. Big hugs to a good friend that P&Q brought together x

What a beautiful blog post, Carol. I’m sorry for your loss too. Very similar thing happened to me with my Mum so I relate to your experience. It’s a beautiful quilt and a lovely name.

Sorry to hear of your loss Carol, we lost Mum 2 weeks ago, and the echos of your post are here too. Your quilt is lovely, and like you, will always be your mums legacy. As for normal service next time, this is normal, we all go through it and you have been wonderfully eloquent in the way you have expressed your feelings xxx

I missed this when it came out, as I was in similar circumstances. But this is the loveliest tribute there could be. A wonderful quilt: a wonderful mum.

Hi Carol., your BOM is just what I was looking for! My mother died in November 2020 during the lockdown so things were especially difficult, made worse that she lives in Cornwall and I’m 260 miles away!
Mum loved her flower garden so I shall be quilting along in her memory.
I note that the link to the fabrics is broken ( its showing the 404 page not available) however I feel sure I will have enough in my stash to do the quilt justice.

What a lovely read and a gorgeous quilt! Very informative about the dyeing process – wouldn’t have thought of shaking the granules over the fabric! and washing in salty water first – Brilliant!! Looking forward the this years’ Quilt…..

That’s so true about never getting any quilty gifts. I did an FPP swap last year and was absolutely blown away when my quilt arrived.I have it in my sewing room and look at it every day.I have never tried dyeing but I do like your sprinklng technique…oh dear,another future project for ‘the list’. I hope the recipient of your quilt was thrillled with it!

Lovely blog Gini, I really enjoyed it. And your mini quilt is absolutely gorgeous – I would have been so pleased if I had been the one to receive this – beautiful! I loved the description of your technique for dying too, the speckled effect is great. When doing the ice or snow dying the results are somewhat unpredictable which can be part of the fun but can leave some bare areas. Your sprinkle method combined with ice dying seems like a good way to get the best of both worlds.

I remember seeing and liking that quilt when I saw it last year, but it is really lovely and quite inspiring seeing how you went about making it.

Remember it from last years swap and loved it. That technique is interesting. Could it work with procion dyes I wonder?

I have just completed my first mini quilt challenge. I really enjoyed the whole process. I wasn’t expecting all the lovely comments about it as i didnt think it was very good . The lady that received it was over the moon with it and said i couldn’t have got it more right for her.
So anyone reading my comment, don’t think about doing it,get on and do it because life is short and we need to fill our lives with pleasure. I learnt so much along the way and im overwhelmed with the response i have had from it.

I can’t find the videos. Help please.

Very sweet blog Juliet and I just love HSTs – they’re so versatile aren’t they.

Sounds like you’ve got a good product there Gini – and EQS have been very generous with their offerings. Nice blog 😉

now that looks good.

I have had one of these for years – its brilliant, and saves buying new ones all the time. I have recently replaced a blade for the first time in five years (and I do quite a lot of rotary cutting!)

I think this is now on my list of items I need to purchase. Thank you.
