For the last several months Cynthia has been working on a quilt as a Christmas present for her mother. It was originally going to be a green and white traditional birdhouse style quilt.
Before Cynthia got started on it we went to the Gee’s Bend show and it inspired her to do something a little less conventional.
Cynthia decided to design her own non-traditional pattern and ended with this spectacular original creation:
The pieces are all machine sewn together, but all of the quilting is meticulously and painstakingly done by hand. All in all it took Cynthia about 4 1/2 months to complete this project.
We shipped it last week and Cynthia’s mother received it on Friday.
She was very excited and says she loves it!
It is breathtaking. I have looked at each individual frame several times. I
adore it. So amazing.
That’s gorgeous!
She is really talented! What an amazing quilt!
Hats off to Cynthia’s talent, creativity and determination! 😀
