Free Spirit Quilt Finish


My Free Spirit quilt has traveled from the lucerne flats of country NSW, to the cubicle offices of Free Spirit in Charlotte, NC, and is now, finally, hanging in the Free Spirit Booth at Quilt Con in Pasedena! If you're at Quilt Con this weekend, please take a picture for me and share it on Instagram!

On the day I finished the quilt, we were just coming to the end of three days of rain, and I was contemplating not getting a photo at all before I shipped it off to Charlotte, for fear of it being dragged through the mud. But it turns out my brother Josh has a camera drone! We rounded up another three friends and carefully held the quilt together, walking down to the Lucerne paddock.


As luck, (or lack thereof) would have it, the storms had created a black out, and the drone wasn't fully charged when we went out for photos, so Josh snapped a few before trying out the video function.  The videos show our beautiful countryside, but not the quilt so much. It makes me so eager to finish my next quilt so we can try again!




I'm so glad to be able to finally share these with you! Glad for great neighbours who have embraced by quilt photography adventures. And really, really glad my Free Spirit Quilt has arrived safely in California!

    With living in Northern Germany, I know all too well the challenges of trying to get a good outdoor shot. What a fun idea with the camera drone. This quilt is absolutely stunning, and I'm afraid that such a compliment still does not do it justice... you've inspired my next color palette!

    Woohooo! I say those are great photographs. What a fun way to catch the view. The green growingness makes a fabulous background.

I so love your comments! I read all of them and reply when I can. If you don't hear back, I'm lost under a mound of scraps or outside jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Jodi. xx
