Emilie Elizabeth and the Big Reveal

Hello Everyone,

You've watched her grow from a pile of half-square triangles to become a beautiful young woman.  Get out the buttered popcorn and sit back and enjoy the movie.

I owe many thanks to Pati from Marcus Fabrics for seeing my design, having a vision, and sending me yards of Julie's Album Quilt fabrics.  I also added a few of Paula Barnes Companion Fabrics to the entire mix.  I loved working with the fabrics, so much so the quilt almost made itself......well not quite.  I also have my sister Gail to thank.  She put all of the basket blocks together for me.  She kept me sane and on track when I needed both.  I think I will let Gail have the other half of her cookie now!

Take a look at the triplets.

The 2nd version


The 1st version

My friend Barbara made this version.
Now on to the quilting machine she goes next week.  You haven't seen the last of her yet!

Soon,
Lynn

  13. Lynn...I just showed your wonderful movie presentation to my husband Allan. He really liked the fabric and the way it came together. He thought you "should really take up quilting" - LOL!! That's what he said and I'm stickin' to it!

  16. I give this movie 5 big stars! The only thing missing was a photo of you and Gail together in the sweat shop! What would grandma say if she could see this! I think this will be a very long playing box office hit, Lynn! Congratulations!
