This "Garden" quilt started with a toddler's "T-Shirt" that says "One of a Kind." As soon as I saw the shirt, I knew it was going to become the focal point of my quilt.
I carefully cut the T-shirt, then used "Misty Fuse" to mount the front of the shirt to the white fabric that has a floral motif in the background. I "Free Motion" quilted the background to add texture. The trim around the sides of the quilt was hand stitched, and the heart shape and rectangular "Hot Fix" embellishments were affixed to the fabric with a special (very hot) heating tool.
I took the picture of my "Garden" quilt in our back yard. The background is a small view of one of the 5 gardens we have that surround our home. I'm very happy with this Little Quilt, and I hope all of you enjoyed your journey through "The Garden!"
Peace and blessings, Kathy

ReplyDeleteHi Nedra ! If you "double click" on the quilt image, it should enlarge it to almost full screen, and you can see the border & embellishments better :-D
