I made it when I was 15 years old (half a lifetime ago! eek!) and I won 2nd in the youth quilting division at the MidSouth Fair (the next year they split the hand vs machine quilts.)
I took an adult class at my LQS (can't remember the name, it has been 15 years.) I was amazed that me a young teen could do something better than several of the grownups in the class. My stitches were tiny and invisable on the applique and my quilting was tiny too. We did freezer paper which we basted with thread and used a green flair pen to mark our quilting lines.
Jennifer, that is simply lovely...you did an amazing job at such a young age. Looks awesome!!!

A lovely quilt, especially for a 15 year old:-)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know, I'm viewing this on a iPad ( which often looks different to pc) but it's really difficult to read blue words on brown background, just thought you might want to know
