As a little gift, i made her this framed, mini-quilt using some of my very favourite fabrics (including some Kaffe Fassett and my favourite blues and greens of course!). You might recognise some of them from what i reckon is my all-time favourite quilt, Dreaming of Jacarandas.
I used a gold thread to quilt 1/4 inch from the seams and i love the way the it shines in the sunlight.
Happy 70th birthday Peta! Here's to a great year ahead and plenty more birthdays for us to celebrate together.
Linking up with:
- Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday and

What a lovely gift and great job photographing the sparkle in your thread! Happy birthday to your friend. :)

ReplyDeleteCute idea, love how the green really makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in this mini are fantastic, and the frame you selected really enhances the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI was given a framed micro quilt at Christmas, and I love it. It was a new-to-me-idea. I am sure Peta will adore hers.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful - I love the extra touch the gold thread gives to it. I have never thought of framing a mini quilt before but it makes a perfect gift. Happy Birthday to Peta!
ReplyDeleteSweet gift! I'm sure she'll treasure it!
