Gossip in the Garden is finished!

I have a finish-yay!!! And when I say a finish I mean a real finish, quilted, bound labelled and gifted!


I made this quilt as a BOM through Elm Grove Patchwork. I loved the fabrics that Lenora chose, I made just a few changes by adding in some soft lime green and more yellow fabrics. I also put a blue framing border in, I got that idea from the Friday Threaders group (thanks!). I met up with Lenora at the Australian Quilt Convention last month so I was able to show her photos of the quilt. I also met Annie Downs, the designer of the quilt, there and showed her photos too - oh the joys of having a smart phone!


Anita from Hillside Quilting did a great job on the quilting...








I'm a bit disappointed with the photos, they were taken on my iPhone and they look fantastic on the phone and my iPad mini but when I put them into Blogger they loose their sharp definition - anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
Carole

  8. Congratulations Carole! You are so generous in your gifting - after all that work - but I know you would have enjoyed the process :)
    Not sure I can help with the photo issue unless it is the size that you save on blogger. I always select "original" size rather than smaller?

  11. Still great photos. You must really love the person to give this beautiful quilt as a gift. I like the blue border it really adds something. Mine has become a UFO due to that border. so maybe I need to rethink it. beautiful work.
