Glorious Has Arrived!



It's here!!!

Glorious - a long-distance collaborative quilt

Designed by Lynne Tyler and Julie Sefton

Pieced by Lynne Tyler


Binding and Labeling will be done by Julie




The day the quilt arrived was very busy so
I haven't had time to really explore the quilt yet --
but the parts I've looked at are totally awesome.

Hopefully by this weekend
I'll have found time to choose a binding fabric
and get it sewn in place.

I want to finish the binding by hand
so I have lots of bonding time with this quilt.

I'll share scenes from the photoshoot
once the quilt is fully finished.

For now you can see lots more photos
and read about the process
by visiting Lynne's blog.

she shared during the quilt's making.

And for those who asked yesterday
about a pattern for The Spotted Winkel --
no, there will not be a pattern.

This top is a one-of-a-kind original.

However - I will compile a list of links
from the making of the quilt top
and share those along with 
my list of inspiration resources
in an upcoming post
so you can follow my process and
combine your skill set with my insights 
to create your very own original design.


In the words of Gwen Marston:

"You all get up in the morning and dress yourselves 
and you look darling - you have the ability - 
all you need is the faith to make these quilts on your own.”

And don't you look darling "dressed" in your wonderful quilt. What a joy it must have been to open that package.
