Peonies Goes Home

Have you ever met someone and had an instant connection? That's what happened when I met my friend L, above. L is from Uganda and I can fully understand her about 85% of the time, but we still manage to communicate very well.

I knew I'd make her a quilt, but we were both so busy it took a while for us to actually get together and talk about it.

We started talking about her colors and I grabbed a piece of paper. "Let me write this down so I don't forget," I told her.

Imagine my surprise as she listed the colors she liked. They were the colors of the triangles that were already on my design wall. 

"That was providential," I thought to myself. When I told L about it when she picked up her quilt, she was not surprised at all. "Yes," she said."that is God. That is Love."

Which is no surprise to any of us that make quilts for others.




This is a Scrap Slab Triangle quilt. If you want to make one you can get my tutorial here at my Etsy shop. It's an instant download so you can get started right away.

You can see all eleven of the Scrap Slab Triangle quilts I have made here.

Stories like this make me tingle….it is the greatest joy when something I’m working on is discovered to be the perfect quilt for someone special in my life.

I love her response - what a lovely lady. And you are so right about the making and gifting of quilts.
