Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival

I first started blogging as a result of Amy's Bloggers' Quilt Festival, and am delighted that that time of year is here again.  Twice a year, at http://amyscreativeside.com/, Amy hosts a quilt festival.  No judging no categories, no postage costs or will-my-quilt-get-back-to-me worries, juts pages and pages of inspirational quilts and new blogs to look at.

Some of my Blogging Buddies (Victoria and Teje to name two) were met over at Amy's, do go and have a look.

To anyone who has come here FROM Amy's

Welcome!

My entry for this year's show is a quilt I made for a friend of my mum's.  Hilary is blind, and has been since her late teens.  She has felt a couple of quilts and cushions I made for mum, and has commented on features that sighted people have overlooked, so I decided to make her a quilt that was fairly bland to look at, but exciting to feel

The post about the finished quilt is here and shows all the individual blocks.  My favourite block is this one

I stitched out just the word Texture in Braille, (three different versions: just filled, just outline and both) and got mum to check with Hilary which version was easiest to read.  She had no idea that it was eventually coming back to her!

Well thanks for visiting, I hope you'll stay a while, but don't forget to pop back to Amy's and check out all the other lovliness that she is showcasing
