Whoooo hoooo - Linda Park has found me!! When I went to Chilford Hall Quilt Show in November, I only photographed one quilt - see above - it was absolutely stunning and was made by Linda Park. I posted a picture of it on my blog, and wrote the following.....
"There were some lovely quilts on show and this was my absolute favourite. It was made by Linda Park from Alford, Aberdeenshire - and I thought it was stunning. I have always wanted to make a "New York Beauty" quilt, and this has spurred me on to make one.....if anyone out there knows who Linda is, please get her to contact me so I can tell her how fabulous her quilt was!"
.....well, lo and behold - a few days ago I received an email from the very same Linda Park!!!
Anyway, this is what Linda had to say.....
"Hi Nicola - your blog was forwarded to me by my colleague and friend Jan. It was such a delight to read that you liked my Montana Cartwheel quilt so much - many thanks for your interest. This is a quilt i made at a class at my local quilt shop - Seattle Quilt Company, in Aberdeen. I'm almost finished another Montana Cartwheel quilt top in blacks, greys and red for my eldest son, Cameron who also liked the pattern. I'll send you a photo when it's complete! The pattern is one I have found very pleasing to sew - I do enjoy paper piecing. Quilters Haven looks lovely - I've just had a very quick tour through the shop and also had a rummage through your quilt gallery - so many quilts and beautifully stitched. I'll have to get myself in gear and get a blog going too when I find the time. Will visit your site again soon. Keep in touch! Regards, Linda."
I was absolutely totally over the moon to hear from you Linda - if you're reading this "Hi :) and please say Hi to your friend Jan too, who really is the one who found me first hehe!!" - I still really can't believe you found me - and hope you don't mind me putting this picture of your stunning quilt on my blog AGAIN :)
