| Stunning long-arm work by Pat Alderman |
After my hair appointment yesterday (I have to look good for the holidays,
right?), Handsome took me to Parrish to pick up his finished quilt from
Pat Alderman. (I'm not cleared to drive myself yet.) He hasn't see it, as it's
his Christmas gift this year, but I just know he's going to be completely
thrilled when he unwraps it on Christmas Day. I know I'm over the moon!

| Perfect quilting for a masculine design |
Pat accented the Princeton plates without making them too girly. I love how
every decision she made creates movement without being over the top. She
used a washable wool batting, so the quilt has the most wonderful drape, too!

| I'm loving the final result! |
I'll be binding the quilt in just a few days and then it will be ready to
place beneath our Christmas tree. Thank you, Pat, for another splendid
quilting finish. I'll be entering this one in our quilt show in February, too.
I think it's nearly time to sit back and relax! Just a few more packages
to ship and then I can enjoy the entire holiday with loved ones.
There really isn't anything better, is there?
WOW...that is absolutely stunning, Donna!!! Handsome should be very happy with this. Fantastic work and awesome quilting!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! This is stunning, the quilting AND the quilting. Dresden's are my all time fav block. Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that is stunning, and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful. I am inspired by your lovely quilts.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how the actual quilting stitches truly make fabric come alive. This is beyond a handsome manly quilt for your Handsome. Merry Christmas! Donna Dear I am continuing my prayers and healing energy for your complete recovery. To a healthy New Year...
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is really special. As others have already said, it is amazing just what a difference the quilting makes to a finished top. I do hope you are soon completely recovered ready for a fit and healthy 2014. I already know it will be yet another truly creative year and look forward to seeing what you make.
