If you've been to Livingston, you'll recognize this park
bench right away.
It's along the river
trail near Sacajawea Park and the band shell, facing those amazing mountains we
call home. When we saw a photo of this scene taken by Livingston photographer
Keelia Islay of Islay Photography, we knew it would be perfect as the Thimbelina's
Quilt Shop block for the upcoming Big Sky Shop Hop. The Hop's theme is Scenes
of Montana.
Keelia was so generous
and agreed to let us use her photo for our block. We rounded out the image with
a flying geese pattern, which we thought was fitting since there are so many geese around the
Yellowstone River. The beautiful colors in the batiks highlight Keelia's great
photo.
Kits to make
Thimebelina's Livingston block will be on sale in the shop (located at 118
North B St. in downtown Livingston) during the shop hop, is April 25 through
May 10.
We also were so lucky
to have worked with Livingston quilter Julie LaDuke of Jule's Jewels Patterns to
design a quilt around Keelia's photo. We'll post a photo of the quilt soon and
tell you about the process we went through to make the quilt from the picture.
It really turned out nice.
We'll be posting more
details about the hop in the coming days, so check back in with us soon!
