Much to my sadness, my
Miniature Booty quilt is packaged up and is heading to the post office today. This is a bit of a bittersweet moment for me, as I really love this little quilt. It is very much my colors and style. Plus it looks great in my house. The
last quilt I made and really loved was easier to send away because I knew something about my partner, and I felt very connected with the idea that the quilt was being made for her. The same is true about
Lucky - I knew it was loved before it was sent. This is unknown territory since the only thing I really know is that my partner likes red, so hopefully she will appreciate it too.
It has an assortment of free-form flowers in many red fabrics - some batiks, some Kaffe Fassett, some oldies-but-goodies (AKA Gramma's fabrics). Same for the leaves. When I look at the flowers and leaves, I am fondly reminded of each of the many projects I made with the materials. The heart is out of one of my all time favorites - it's from the Moda Dandellion Girl collection. I just love it! It is all hand needle-turned applique applique and hand quilted.
Here's a close up (and blurry!!) shot of a ruched flower. I was trying to utilize the pattern of the red batik.
Little embroidered swirls on the leaves and stems...
Here's a look at the label. It's actually made from a piece I'd cut for my daughter's dress collar! It reminded me of a flower when I saw it. Sweet quilt, I hope you love your new home with...

It is incredible. Wish it were headed to my house.
How could your partner not love this? It is so beautiful!! You do just wonderful work!
Well I know this quilt is not coming my way but I certainly would accept it if it was. It is just beautiful. I am certain the person who opens this package will be very very happy.
Wow, red is not my color but that is stunning. I love it, you made red look good!!LOL! Your partner can't help but love it! Gorgeous quilt!
did I tell you I like red a lot? and I don't have my booty quilt yet? I'd be very happy to have this one!
It's a beautiful wall hanging and I know it will be loved!
Very nice! And I like the "Welcome" quilt hanger too.
WOW!!!! That's simply gorgeous. I really like all the different shades of greens and reds that you chose for this. I bet your recipient is going to squeal with delight. :-)
What a beautiful quilt! I love the way you use different techniques, and the intricate detail you include.
That's beautiful. I wish it was coming here.

Margaret it is just breathtaking.
magaret, this is sooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty, wish it was mine, but it isn't
Thank you, thank you, thank you, It is absolutely stunning.
It's really lovely, Margaret - I'm sure she'll adore it. Wish it was mine (though I got mine today and I do love it so I really can't complain). I know what you mean, though - I feel the same way about my manhole cover quilt - hope the recipient likes it!
So beautiful! I imagine it is hard to let it go...
This quilt is absolutely GORGEOUS! Well done and a very lucky person will be receiving this gem.
