51/365 ~ Elegant | Graceful | Artistic | Decorative
I made this quilt for my grandma in 2005! She was such an elegant woman who would spoil us with her own handmade blankets made by crocheting so I wanted to do something special for her. I did this just by trial and error - totally made by teaching myself. I had only made two other quilts before this. One was made with my dads old Harley Davidson shirts and the other was just a simple quilt with squares. This one I wanted to be a bit more artistic so I tried this pattern called a card trick. As you can see, it's not perfect - some of the corners didn't like up but this was extremely special to my grandma. She even brought it with her to hospice during her last days. I got it back after she passed in 2011. This is not meant to just lie around as decoration - it's still used with so much love.

Danette BadgerThis is my FIFTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014. In 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017 and 2018! I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I enjoy this challenge very much and I am looking forward to seeing what 2019 brings! Archives
