I dont do commissions, repeat I dont do commissions .... well apart from this one! I have known Evelyn for years, she is a lovely lecturer at a University where I used to work. This woman does so much for others, seriously its unbelievable and she has the best sense of humour too!
I knew she had her first grandchild last august and I did think about making a quilt for her but it was while I was retiring and that came with its own challenges so it never got done.
She asked me earlier this year if I would make a quilt for her grandson so of course I said yes. She wanted various shade of blue so I went with the above simple greek cross pattern.She also asked if there could be a lion on it (grandson is called Leo) I couldnt find suitable fabric with lions on it so there was only one thing for it ...
yup a non floral big cat!
Not too much of a challenge and I love him!

So the quilt top and back were duly sent to Cath to do her wonderful stuff, long story short he went awol in the post ๐he turned up again after 6 days lost!!!!! Cath did her stuff and Quilt for Evelyn is now duly done and ticked off the fettle list!!!!!
What a fantastic quilt! I think it must have gone to join in a Thundercats battle as you’ve definitely got Lion-O on the back there. Hooray for finishes and the Fettling of them *waves pompoms* And hooray for Scoobs’ quilt holding skills *waves pompoms*
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is lion o isn't it!
