Last week with 'help' from Oliver, I got this quilt out to use in my Easter decorating.
While I would love to say I had made it myself that would be a big fib!! Vicki from Bloom Creek offered some of her samples for sale last year and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase this beauty.
It is called Ferndale Flora and ...
Vicki pieced and quilted it with Shangri-La fabrics from 3 Sisters.
The applique and quilting are beautifully done ...
and inspire me every time I look at them.
I really love this quilt and consider it a bargain ... I was able to buy the finished quilt for less than it would have cost to buy the fabrics in Australia!
I just had a look on Vicki's website and the pattern is available here.
Cats & quilts just naturally seem to go together. Wow! I love your quilt.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!! Just gorgeous!! And the quilting is stunning!! Thanks for sharing!
