Work and Love
The work and love we put in our quilts!
Those who don’t quilt could say these are just words. Even when we make our own quilts, I think we are not always aware of the “work and love”. We just make quilts and don’t count anything. But when someone sends a quilt top to you, asking to quilt it, it is impossible not to see the huge amount of work and the love the quilter stitched on it.
I don’t see quilts made by other quilters everyday. OK, I see a few once in a few years! So when I saw this top, the perfect piecing, the beautiful colors and fabrics (not to mention the long sweet message written in Romanian), I understood once again that quilting is about work and love.
This quilt has a special story. With Barb’s permission, I share it with you.
Barb lives in USA and her son is married with a Romanian girl, Carmen.
They are expecting now the first baby. Barb saw pictures of
my “Building Fun” quilt and immediately she knew that was the perfect
pattern for a baby quilt.
She asked me to quilt this top for her. Carmen
misses her family and country very much. In this way, the new baby would
then have a little bit of both countries!
I think Barb’s care for Carmen’s feelings is amazing!
huge responsibility! I am really nervous! I hope Barb will not be disappointed.
I have to quilt it now!

You will do a great job. It's intereting that you are doing this as just last night as I was working on my hexie quilt top I thought "when I'm done I should have Geta quilt this for me". LOL
You are so right. Each quilt contains within it's fibers the love anyone that comes in contact with it. Beautiful quilt. Relax and let your heart listen to the quilt. You will do a beautiful job. Especially because it will be done with "Love." 🙂
The top is very cute, enjoy the quilting. It´ll be gorgeous as usual.
Thanks for brightening my day! I have no doubt that you will add to the beauty of this quilt.

Geta this is such a touching story! You will do a beautiful job with the quilt. Your quilting is beautiful and done with care. You will be part of such a special gift for the baby. What an honor 🙂
Visiting from Freshly pieced. i have not seen that pattern before. The quilt looks fantastic. Cheers Karen
The quilt arrived back on my doorstep yesterday and I could not believe how beautiful it looks with Geta's quilting! It is perfect. It is beyond perfect. The roof tiles and bricks are magnificent. I would have loved to have seen how she accomplished the intricate detail of each block. I am so honored that she agreed to be part of this project. I hope one day to return to Romania and perhaps I will be lucky enough to meet Geta. She certainly makes the world a better place for all of us!!
