Tag: BOM 2015

Shortly before the new year, Karin came by our store to show us her blue version of the Mystery Quilt, which she made from our ‘Block of the Month 2015’ and the Double Wedding Ring Technique. This quilt turned out so beautiful that we didn’t want to let her leave the store with it!

What do you love to do most at the moment?
Pretty much everything! Above all the appliqué, which was still quite new to me.

And otherwise?
I really love to visit patchwork shops, especially Cotton & Color!
(Note: this was just before our remodeling)

What do you not like to do at all?
Cleaning ?

What are you working?
I am the grandmother of two wondrous grandchildren, and that with body and soul.

Do you have a funny story for us?
Haha, when I was working on the laundry room block in 2016, one of my grandchildren came to me and said, “Oh, these are Papa’s stinking socks!”

 

Did you make this quilt for somebody?
This quilt I made for myself. I really want to keep this quilt, it is special to me.

How long did you work on it?
It developed from the Cotton & Color ‘Block of the Month 2015′. During that year, I made all the blocks. It took me about 4 more months to finish.

What part did you like most about this quilt?
Every block was a new surprise – new techniques every month. I was always very curious to see, what the next block looked like!

What was difficult?
A real challenge was sewing the blocks together with curved seams. It seemed almost impossible, but at the end it turned out soooo nice!
