I don't consider myself an artist, but I am a passionate craftswoman. Making a miniature quilt was an extreme challenge for me. My exchange partner and I have very different personalities and each has her own very individual mode of making quilts. But there is one thing that connects us and that is a love of the American quilt designer Bonnie K. Hunter. At the end of every year, Bonnie presents her followers with the gift of a mystery quilt. I have been making these mystery quilts with great enthusiasm for a number of years. The 2017 mystery was "On Ringo Lake". My exchange quilt is an almost exact representation of this design, at a scale of 1:3 - homage to Bonnie and at the same time a miniature lake for my exchange partner. For the choice of fabrics I was inspired both by the original design and also by a photo sent to me by my partner, whilst at the same time keeping with my own personal preference for more sedate colours. And honestly, how many people get to hang a miniature lake on their wall?! Foundation paper pieced by machine, Machine quilted.
