Rebecca's project

Rebecca @ one wee bird sent me a wonderful package (that you can read about here) in a time of great heartache and I felt compelled to do a little something for her in return.

I did my research and discovered that Rebecca's likes

  • brights -- turquoise, mango, Daffodil & lime
  • dots and stripes
  • bold and eye catching designs
  • Favorite fabrics -- Kaffe Paperweight, Heath in Black, Michael Miller dumb dot, Allison Glass Sunprint. 
  • Favorite Designers -- Sarah Fielke and Jen Kingwell 
  • Dislikes -- brown and most other colors of green

After telling some of my quilty friends about the minis and the story behind them, they felt compelled to do something for her as well. My friend Teri and Rebecca have such similar taste in things that she brought me a stack of fabrics to make this project. 


I've narrowed the project down to the clam shells because it captured the fabrics the best and I had been anticipating using my clam shell die for some time. 

Planning Phase
Assembly Complete 
Quilted up 
Bound 
Ready to go 

I am hoping that she will like this one as much as I love the minis that she sent my way. 
another beauty shot -- I wish that the sun had been out more to really capture the colors. 
I do love this function of my iPhone -- seeing the project in many different ways. 
the back reads -- from one fabric floozy to another .. much love. 

So I finally got word back that it arrived safely to the other side of the world and she loves it -- I love surprising someone so deserving.
