All Aboard! Twin Orchards Textiles customer shares her quilt top

The best thing about having a fabric shop is imagining all of the things that people can make with just a few yards--and seeing the crafts that people create when they're finished!

We were thrilled when we heard back from D., who poses with her cat and her “Thomas the Tank Engine” quilt in the photograph below.  Twin Orchards Textiles is proud to have sold her the Thomas the Tank Engine fabric (from Cranston VIP) that appears in the quilt.

We love how the interweaving windmill border on the quilt top matches so nicely with the Tank Engine fabric, but most of all we love that this quilt was made for a young survivor of cancer.  It must be so comforting to have a special gift to keep warm with for years to come :). 

Thank you so much, D., for sharing your truly wonderful gift with us!
