DoryJM Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 This is my first attempt at a DWR. I used Quiltsmart, figuring I had plenty of time to get it done for the wedding. Had I actually kept with it, it would be done. But, the wedding is tomorrow:P I have the top done (as you can see if the picture works) and plan to give her the picture with an IOU. I used batiks, to make it "younger," since she's in her mid 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Oh it is gorgeous Dory. It will surely be treasured. You are a dear person to give such a lovely gift to these newly weds. Please post a photo of the quilted version when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Shana, you're way too nice...but I like it!! I plan to use my husband's professional embroidery machine to stitch their names and wedding date in the middle and then do <gasp> feathers (keeping my fingers crossed all the while) in the other blocks. I figure that since I'm constantly stealing his thread, I might as well use his machine too! (PS--3 Christmas blocks done today!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dory, I can't wait to see it finished. I have always wanted to make DWR but have dreaded making it .........maybe now I will try the cheaters way:D with the quiltsmart first. I love your quilt top......I really can't wait to see it finished it sounds wonderful with their names and wedding date on it. Make sure to post the pictures.

sewlinzi Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I bought a quiltsmart dwr kit in the USA and it's another pending project so I'm glad to hear it went together well. I have 2 feedsack dwr's to quilt and my sister is getting remarried next year but 30's is possibly not her cup of tea. I look fwd to seeing how you quilt it!
