Bloggers Quilt Festival - Ferris Wheel Mini

I am so excited to be linking up with Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival for the first time (I have only been a visitor in the past and have loved admiring all the amazing creativity shown). 

AmysCreativeSide.com

My first entry is a mini quilt that I made for the lovely Samantha. She told me that she loved fabrics that were more jewel toned rather than bright and so I chose to work with Anna Maria Horners Dowry fabric range.

I really enjoyed the EPP work, less so the hand applique onto the background fabric which seemed to take forever! I machine quilted in straight lines using Aurifil 2600, and bound the quilt in a gorgeous teal with gold print from the Botanics fabric line.

Thanks for visiting. I am a new blogger so it is fun to have new visitors to my blog, and thanks to Amy for hosting the festival. Enjoy visiting all the other amazing quilting blogs - they provide so much inspiration.
