Tickled Pink

Today was the photo shoot for Candy Box, and I was tickled pink to be working in a candy shop...it brought all of my Willy Wonka dreams to life.  How I love that movie; I will forever be searching for fizzy lifting drinks!

Here's a little look at Candy Box.  This quilt is for Morgan,  the tiniest member of our family.  She was born a week ago Thursday, and Momma, Dad, and the wee babe are all doing fine. 

As I mentioned here, I was apprehensive about quilting on Minkee, but it turned out so well; much to my surprise.  I definitely wanted the quilt to have some fluff to it, but I also wanted it to have the texture of quilting.  In order to achieve the look I wanted, I used two battings: a traditional loft on the bottom, plus a thin cotton batting under the quilt top, I think it turned out really well.  The quilting has definition (lots of hearts), plus it has the weight that I was looking for.

Here's a look at the back of the quilt:

That quilt looks good enough to eat. I love Minkee and plan to make my soon-to-be grandchild a quilt made of it.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!
