...for the first time!!!
A couple of months ago I entered all my nostalgia quilts into a competition run by Crafty Computer Paper in the UK.
Here is my winning quilt - it's journal sized and made by printing my mum's photo onto organza and laying that onto some fabric printed with mum's writing - actually notes she made during a quilting class. the vintage background fabric is made from a houscoat she wore during the 60's and I found when I was clearing out her stuff. It holds such memories for me. The buttons on it are also from the housecoat.
I'm surprised that this is the one that won - I thought it would be this one of her sat on the canal bank wall made using TAP transfer paper but hey - I'm not complaining!
I won a £100 voucher to spend at Crafty Computer Paper - that's where I buy all my printable fabrics from - and a bottle of bubbly!! Just in time for my birthday next week
