We are so lucky to have this beach a mile down the coast. We hung around for a bit:
and wondered what the "2" stands for.
Then we found a garden where the grass was as green as the binding:
Chartreuse kona - (Kermit green:-)
The novice satin stitch writing on the quilt reads "Soy amada" (I am loved) and is for the girl that this quilt will go to. It is in lovely variegated Aurifil, which I also used to quilt the pink, and though it doesn't show up so clearly in photos the writing is all right in real life.
I never thought I would become so fond of pink though somehow I had accumulated enough of it in my stash to make this quilt. Now I promise not to go on about it any more:-)
I could look at it every day!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is absolutely beautiful so are the photos so keep sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine! This is so beautiful quilt! I love pink even can't find much in my stash. And I think the pair for it is sweet green. Your beach looks amazing. We have so much sandy beaches here in GREECE and long beaches but not so wide. x Teje

ReplyDeleteHi Catherine, I don't know how my comment went as a reply but anyway your quilt is amazing and colours so sweet! x Teje

ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on pink, but seem to have a rather unhealthy stash of it too!!
Absolutely beautiful! Fresh, fun, and pretty! I love the colors, the patterns, and the lively green binding is perfect. That will be one blessed girl!
ReplyDeleteI adore this quilt and don't blame you for wanting to spend time with it and get as many photos as possible!! It will be a hard one to party with, but it's such a wonderful cause. A little girl in Mexico will be very proud to call this hers.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! What a wonderful gift! The stitching looks perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteGo for it, it is not like you are going to see this lovely quilt every day. I don't think this parting is very easy :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think Scotland is having better weather at the moment then down here, although I am not complaining :-))

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful quilt, Catherine! The lime green binding frames the pink quilt so well; the embroidered words and the tiny flowers are lovely. What a perfect weather and location for the photo shoot. The little recipient of this quilt is going to love it.
