I love quilts that tell a story, don’t you?
This quilt by Mathea Daunheimer in New Zealand (“Mummy Without Coffee”) tells a story, and it gives me a good excuse to put 2 of my favorite topics into one fabric collage – Dragons and Coffee!
Do you ever wake up growling and spitting fire because you haven’t had that first cup of coffee yet? Mathea’s quilt captures that moment that we coffee-drinkers know so well. Her story-telling elicits snorts and giggles because she helps us to laugh at ourselves.
I’ve added a border of Dragon and Coffee fabrics that we have in stock, because …no, we don’t have a pattern for this dragon quilt…but you can still make your own Dragon & Coffee quilt.
“Mummy Without Coffee” is an original one-of-a-kind piece. However if you’d like to learn more about her technique you can head on over to her blog at espartafiberarts.com to see how she stitches her drawing, then paints in the colors.
Yes I did have coffee with Mathea in New Zealand, and she has a hilarious self-deprecating sense of humor! You can see her 2 quilts from the New Zealand Quilt Symposium on my photo page.
On Friday I’ll be flying to Quilt Market in Houston, and on next Tuesday evening I’ll be giving out the cash award for Group Quilts at the award ceremony. Hope to see you there …please come say hello!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
