Bloggers Quilt Festival; my first entry!


I am so excited this weekend. I have never entered a quilt in a show, lets face it, I haven't made many quilts! I am going to enter my version of the Hummingbird quilt that I made for my granddaughter in the small quilt category of the Bloggers Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side.


The quilt is a paper-pieced pattern called Hummingbird from Rita of Red Pepper Quilts. The fabrics are from Nel Whatmore's Secret Garden in Linen and I love the brightness especially of the backing.



I had the top long arm quilted and was so pleased with the result. Its now in pride of place on my granddaughter's French day bed.

If you are a new visitor to my small blog, thank you so much! I'm so enjoying my contact with the blogging community. If you are a follower already, thank you for your patience with seeing the quilt again. I am so proud of it. I will be blogging again after a busy weekend about my visit to the Malvern Quilt Show and progress on my Triangle Quilt.
