rlhdesigns Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 My granddaughter standing next to me with her hand on her hips handed my a piece of batik and said to me "make something beautiful Gram" I made this for her and name it "Something Beautiful". I showed this at my quilt quild and they talked me into entering this in the Minnesota Show. So I took them up on it and entered it in the Art Exhibit. I used scraps of kona for the border, two layers of cotton batting, white & yellow So Fine thread top and bobbin. Finishing off with crystals on the front and back. So I dedicated this to her..... She is an 8 yr old quilter too! Thanks for looking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
