my secret garden

Lockdown quilt with the fabulous Claudia Pfeil - filled my weekends during lockdown and gave me a great curtain

At the beginning of the Covid Lock-Down in 2020, the fabulous Claudia Pfeil started a quilt-along on facebook where she showed us some of her techniques to let a quilt grow. totally in my line as this is how I like to work - start with an idea - do a bit of this - add a bit of that - then figure out how to combine everything into what makes one happy. I have been wanting a large curtain for my balcony door/window for a long long time. this adds warmth in winter - keeps the sun out in summer and adds color and fun all year round. I really wanted the stained glass effect so that I used a very thin batting and a light backing. there is a second simple white curtain behind it to protect it a little bit. I realize that the sunlight will kill it eventually - but in summer it only gets the early morning sun and it is here to enjoy for a few years - once it desintegrates it is time for something new :)
