Would you look at this? My girl Lizzy is officially a quilter now!!! This is her quilt Marble Champ...check out her blog where she explains the meaning behind the quilt, and through several post she also explains the meaning behind several of the pieces in her Red Letter Day collection. Something that you will learn about my girl is that everything has meaning, everything is about the whole, and that everything is part of a grand plan.
Something else about Lizzy that I'll share is this...if she says that she has "seen it in her head, and knows how it will work" just get out of her way, and let her get to it. It won't do any good to argue with her, or explain to her the reasons why it won't work, because she has worked it out already in her mind, and she knows that it will work. It always does, everytime.
This is such an accomplishment for her, she designed the fabric, created the quilt design, made the quilt, quilted the quilt, made the binding for the quilt, and did the binding. This amazing girl of mine, I'm just so proud of her!!! She has been surrounded by quilts all her life, and has always loved them, but to make this leap, and truly become a quilter in her own right - WOW - words fail me.
Here's another photo of her quilt, I love this image...enjoy!
Hey proud mama, it's super fantastic!
