(ok, I lied. I took a nap, fed the kids, and signed George up for swimming lessons first. But now that they're all sleeping off their jetlag.. I finally have a minute to myself~)
Have you ever seen a DWR quilt in person? For some reason, every time someone pulls one out at a guild show-n-tell it leaves a deep impression on me. They always elicit a great response from the crowd.. oohs and ahs. The curves! the tiny pieces! the CURVES!
I do own one DWR.. it is hanging in my sewing room. Here, have another look:
The generous people at Simplicity have sent me a set of Darlene Zimmerman's EZ quilting DWR templates to give away to one lucky reader. Please leave a comment on this post telling me how you feel about curves-- in quilting, in life, in nature, in design.. (and give it some thought, more than just "Oh, I love them!"). I'll choose a winner on Sunday. (Domestic and International entries welcome~)
