My mom and I had several crafty projects in mind when we planned their trip to Portland. One of them was for mom to make a
mini quilt like the one I made a few weeks ago. (A funny aside, even though she is one of my few frequent followers on this blog, she missed the part about my giving the quilt to her, so it was a pleasant surprise when I reminded her she'd get to take it home)
In like fashion, we decided to make hers for her mom (my abuela in mexico!). We used two more photos from our trip to Mexico years ago. It took some figuring and adding to figure out how to fit the two photos (the original design calls for just one). The quilt in general is a nice grid and with some scrap grid paper we got it all worked out.

ReplyDeleteCool! I have loved every time someone lets me know a post has been inspiring!
ReplyDeleteFor me keeping the studio clean is an ongoing challenge! We made good headway with my mom in town, and now I just need to put on finishing touches of organization.
