I have a dear friend in the USA. We have known each other for over 20 years now. She knows me very well:) So when I was unemployed, living on the meager earnings you get from the government - and thereby could not splurge a lot on fabric, she did a wonderful thoughtful thing. She sent me her quiltkit for the Charleston quilt! She allowed me to make the quilt for her, so that I would have something to fill the long empty days! That is what I call a sacrifice. She is a very good friend, indeed:)
Yesterday the rain stopped long enough to dry out the ground and give me time and opportunity to take the pictures. It was meant to be done by Christmas, but because my shoulder went out, she will get it for her birthday instead! Sorry, friend:)
I did wait for sunshine to take the pictures, but now I am not sure that is the best time to take pictures? Shadows are not nice to pictures, and the sunshine also made the fabric look a little weak. It is reproduction, but still...
So even though I loooove the Norwegian summerness:) of this picture (it brings me straight back to my childhood summers, and all the work with the hay drying), the whiteness in this one is just overwhelming in the sun. Cute pattern, though, isn't it?
On my quilt-photographic journey I came across this fellow. Did you see more evil eyes than this? They do say their brains are a little bit mad....

Both quilts are gorgeous!!!! I really love the one your friend let you make for her! Wow! And the other one is so wonderful and primitive! As for that rooster -- ugh! lol! Evil eye indeed!
Oh, I am the lucky friend! Thank you for making the quilt! It is beautiful. I am so excited. :-) Hah, hah... you make my quilt, and somehow I am kind to "let" you? hee, hee... should I get another quilt kit?
I also really liked the chicken. Where were you photographing your work? It is beautiful.
