A gift I don't have many words for

Renee and I decided to do a mini quilt swap a few months ago. Quilty friends are the best, right? I KNEW hers would be spectacular; she is the queen of FMQ and Doctor Who quilts (Example A and Example B).


 Knowing my own love of DW and of purple, she made me this double-sided beauty. I literally gasped and kind of took a million little breaths. "The Pandorica Opens" is the name of the quilt; it's from Series 5 of the new Doctor Who in a Van Gogh-based episode.

Look at that amazing applique and thread painting... and is it bad I knew that yellow fabric was from Comma?

The husband loves it too! Now, just to decide where to hang it and on what side... it's absolutely breath-taking in person. I had to share.



Check out Renee's posts so far on this quilt: here, here, and here. I hope she loves mine like I love hers - Renee, you should be getting it early next week (I'm sending it Friday)! :D Which means I'll be sharing it here early next week. THANK YOU for making my week!

Here's to quilty friends who will meet at QuiltCon next year! <3
