In June she started her most formidable project to date to produce an early wedding anniversary surprise for a lovely lady at dad’s work.
After finding out her favourite colour was purple, Mum and I spent a lot of time selecting the right fabrics. It was such hard work checking out every quilt store we came across in the search for purples! : )
Then work began in earnest every week and slowly it began to evolve over time into a king size quilt that has exceeded our expectations. It’s a monster!!!
We finally finished the last stitch on Saturday.
She has done such an amazing job! I only helped with the cutting she did everything else on her own! What a champ!
Sorry for the blurry photo.
Its details are:
Dimensions: 90 x 104 inches
Poly wool batting
quilted in purple thread by Vicky at Stitch It Quilts.
To Julie and Gino, Mum and Dad hope you like it.

I love that you and your mum have a sewing date every week. That quilt is a super stunner!!
gorgeous quilt but how lucky are you to spend one day a week with your mum doing something that you both obviously love - lucky you! and lucky Mum
I too just love the fact that you and your mom sew once a week. I think that is so wonderful!! And clearly, this gesture was well appreciated! The quilt looks beautiful!
