Finally done!
It took a looooooong time to get it done, I absolutely enjoyed making it at all! I mean it! Enjoyed collecting 16 kind of orange batik fabrics, sewing curves, binding curves, and of course quilting as well!
Our quilting group will join one event in DC tomorrow, I have decided to bring it to show off! Nancy's birthday is Jan. 23, but I cannot wait to see her reaction until then! This quilt was originally made for showing my appreciation to her kindness - she gave me her treasure, a heavy old sewing machine in mint condition with her memories -.
I will give this quilt to her tomorrow after the event.
I am soooooooooooooooo excited to think about it, I cannot stop myself grinning :D :D :D :D
Donna! Please don't tell her about it until I see her tomorrow if you find this post! She is not supposed to check my blog :)

Oh my, this is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteKyoko, it is so very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you guys!!
ReplyDeleteI think my friend Nancy liked it! She was upset when I told her that I made the quilt for her, and I didn't have much time to talk with her, so I didn't actually see much how she seemed like... but I was told by a few friends that she was crying with joy, and she loved it! I am very happy if she really loved it, because I wanted her to feel how I have felt (and have been feeling) when she gave me the sewing machine, and every time she is so kind to me!
Kyoko, that quilt is so beautiful and such a lovely thing to do for your friend. I don't doubt that she loved it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't checked in often--happy belated birthday! We all have the flu here, so we're being very quiet.
Any chance you will try to attend the inauguration? I decided it will be too cold and too big a crowd for my kids, so we will watch it on TV. Part of me would like to go, though.
Hi Liz!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for you and your family have the flu! Hope it will be gone very soon.... It's no fun.
I am also not going attend the inauguration. I hear a lot of news from people, on TV that DC will be in mess on that day! It seems like impossible even to reach there from VA. I could try to attend if my husband would be with me, but both of us cannot leave home together more than 3-4 hours since one of us need to take care of our handicapped rabbit. We will watch it on TV as you are going to do :) Hope the new president will really change this country!
