I had forgotten the feeling from an idea to the sketching the trial and error , the pain full deadlines and the tears.
I forgot how much i loved it.
There has been a bit of that lately the universe reminding me of what i love, giving me a shove.
When i was asked to create Pepper i was so excited and overwhelmed,
To be asked back a second time was just as amazing. They knew what they were getting into and they still wanted me!
This time though i had another idea, something that had been on my mind for a while.
So the 'Sprouting Up'Growth Chart Quilt was born, somewhere to record your memories an evolving changing quilt that grows with you and your family.
It seems like an age since i packaged it off to Homespun.
This quilt doesn't just have blood, sweat and tears in it it has my heart.... five of them:)
One day i will record the weights and dates of my grandchildren on this quilt :)
love fi xo
