Back in February, I sat down with Bobby Metcalf, the newest member of our team, to talk about pulling fabric to match a pattern, and it received a lot of positive responses.
At the same time, we also discussed how to pick a pattern to match a fabric bundle, but didn't release the video at the time to give Bobby a chance to make the quilt and show you all how it turned out.
Well, after several months, Bobby finally finished his first ever quilt top, using the first fabric bundle he ever purchased, The Fae from Rae Ritchie by Dear Stella Fabric. With a mixture of dark and light prints, we decided a perfect pattern for the collection was Vintage Revisited, a pattern I designed in June of 2022.
I have to say, I'm thrilled at how the quilt turned out, and it was so much fun watching Bobby go through the process of piecing his first ever quilt top, from asking me constant questions at the beginning of the project, to having the confidence to take a sewing machine home one weekend to finish the top on his own.
Though the quilt still isn't quilted or bound, I wanted to bring Bobby on to talk about the process, and for him to share his experience with all of you. He'll admit he had his frustrations at times - and that he became very well acquainted with his seam ripper - but he's a great example of how quilting is accessible to anyone!
