Baby step into India International Quilt Festival (#IIQF)

 After having some experience of presenting papers, chairing sessions in conferences, conducting sessions in workshops, it was time to send entry of a quilt in #IIQF (India International Quilt Festival). This is my baby step in the form of a baby quilt ... entirely prepared out of fabric scrap thrown away by local tailor except batting which is of bought flannel.

It is a must visit https://www.indiaquiltfestival.com/ to see and experience some of the master-pieces of quilts.

Next year am aspiring to enter a more mature work in the quilt festival.

Entry into the world of Quilts

Am extremely happy to share the firstever completed attempt with the quilt! 💓 This is of queen-size comforter. So happy to make this for a very senior colleague, who completed his Sahatra-chandradarshan (= He saw 1000 full moons in his life = 81 years old). He was so happy to see that on video call! It has been now sent to him. 

The designing, cutting, piecing, basting was done by me. Would have loved to hand-quilt it myself, but for the want of time, it was outsourced. And I must say that the lady has done a fabulous job. I enjoyed very bit of it. Thanks to all the loving ladies of Mumbai Chapter of Desi Quilters. You all have boosted my morale so much! 

Working with fabric, sewing, quilting is so therapeutic for me! I am looking forward to taking this romance with quilting to a higher level in the time to come.
