The Meadow~ A Twilight inspired rag quote quilt (CUSTOM ORDER)


These 2 pictures are of the quilt in it's permanent home

"My 12 year old daughter has been wanting Twilight bedding for awhile. Most of it looks pretty cheap/cheesy when I've seen certain pieces and it did not go with her color scheme in her room. So, I discovered Rachel's site when an Edward Cullen quilt was posted on a Team Twilight site on Facebook. The minute I saw her site I knew she would be the perfect person to help me veer from the black and white norm you so often see with Twilight. My daughters room is purple and there was no way she was going to let that change (nor did I really want it to). I solicited Rachel's help to create something Twilight but still girly...I wanted to stay away from the ominous feeling sometimes felt in Twilight. I sent her a picture of my daughters area rug that somewhat resembled a meadow and Rachel took it from there!

She is a true professional and was a pleasure to work with. She kept me in the loop the whole time...sending me pictures when something was completed. Even if it was just a newly embroidered quote or flower. It was so exciting to watch it come together piece by piece to the finished product. A project with very specific tastes/requests like this does not come without hiccoughs and she worked her way out of them to come up with an even better look/outcome than we had anticipated. It truly is an heirloom! Thanks for taking such great pride in your work Rachel. It was refreshing to see that there really is such a thing as customer service...something that has been lacking in our country for quite awhile!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!!!! Pictures do not do this quilt justice (or probably any of your quilts). It is more beautiful than I imagined. It just made me cry. I didn't want to put it back in the box to wrap it up for Christmas. I just wanted to stare at it. A true work of art! And the vibrancy is not captured as well in pictures. The purple fabric that the butterflies are on is absolutely stunning. In pics it looks almost white. And the detail is unreal! I never expected something that looked that beautiful to actually be so fluffy and comfy too. That could present a problem when trying to rouse her out of bed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I couldn't think of a more appropriate name than Quilts From The Heart."

We'll Be Watching

I choose the wolf fabric based on the multiple fur colors shown--just as the Quiluete wolf pack doesn't all have the same fur color when they shift. Backside fabric is a very soft fleece that shows wolf faces emerging from the trees.
