I'm so looking forward to this trip... it's been way too long since I spent any time at my childhood home in the summer. I have such fond memories of spanning long days out in the country and I can't wait to share that time this there year with Claude and to make something with my mama. What could be better?!
soooo, for now I thought I'd share the plans and later the results of our labors. Taking direct inspiration from one of the many beautiful Gees Bend Quilts I came up with a design using some of Holly Ward Bimba's fabric (ordered from SpoonFlower), some lovely Yawa dot's, vintage red, and chambray which I had in the studio... we'll see how it goes! The plan is set, the fabric is being sent and I can't wait to get to work on it...
Below is the original Gee's Bend quilt, swatches of the fabrics, and the design (roughed out in photoshop) we settled on.
how pretty! I love your fabulous plan.
ReplyDeleteCute pattern!! I too love the Gee's Bend Quilts!!Rose
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it will be great.
ReplyDeleteAfter Soulemama posted the Holly Ward Bimba fabric that she turned into a quilt I could not resist buying some as well. I said I wouldn't and then I did....you know how it goes. I got the bluebirds and seed pods and last night I cut and sewed the front and back of one of the Purl Bee Cheerful Quilted Playmat. Not that we need a play mat but I just like a good small quilt once in while. And, we use the other one made with Poster Fleur all the time.
i just love these patterns.
