What was your inspiration?
I made this back in 2005 when Denyse Schmidt's book first came out. I loved her fresh approach to quilting and couldn't wait to make something inspired by her book. It was also the first project that I hand quilted. You can see that it has been very loved (and maybe a little abused).
What are you most proud of?
That I made something beautiful and useful. The old gray polyester cover it came with was so ... unattractive and uncomfortable. Every time I pull out my heating pad now, I smile. :)
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Go a little crazy! It spends most of its time in the closet, so it's okay if it is a little more loud than you are used to. You might find that you actually like that much color (or whatever your version of crazy is). Have fun!
