The majority of Wizard of Oz themed quilts you find use mostly standard licensed fabrics with the characters on them, so most of these quilts are the same. Not with this beauty! We wanted this quilt to really stand out, and to do so, we used only a few of the licensed fabrics and instead used our imagination to recreate scenes or phrases from the movie. This quilt took a lot of effort to make, as the ruby slippers and many of the blocks are meticulously hand applied or appliquéd.. There are several close up blocks we were not able to fit into the pictures added, so if there is a particular block you'd like to see, please feel free to email. The stunning, hand applied sequined ruby slippers on Dorothy's blue gingham material really set the whole quilt off. Bright, beautiful shades of reds, yellows and blues compliment each block as well as the back, which is covered in poppies from the film. On various blocks, you will see "happy little blue birds" flying above the two appliquéd rainbows, hot air balloons surrounded by wicker basket fabric, Glinda the good witch in her appliquéd bubble, Toto in his basket, and in the center, "There's No Place Like Home" is beautifully embroidered on the same blue gingham as the ruby slippers. A lot of the characters from the movie are also featured in the blocks or strips, including the Wicked Witch of the West, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion. This quilt is absolutely amazing and, as usual, pictures do not do it justice. The lovely yellow brick road border is quilted, and, if you'd like to see a picture of that, please email us. Measurements are: 49" across and 62 1/2" down. We will ship this item for free! thanks for looking and God bless!

For Custom Embroidered / Personalized Birthstone Patchwork QuiltAmanda’s work is amazing! I required the project be completed in a short period of time. She agreed to the timeline and had the completed project to me as promised. In addition, and most importantly, the finished quilt is BEAUTIFUL and just as I imagined it! Amanda was easy to communicate with and I appreciated her updates. I would highly recommend her Work. Design & Quality are excellent.

For quiltsI had a difficult brief; to create a complete custom quilted and embroidered bedding set to non-US sizing. Looking at Amanda's portfolio I knew I had to have her make the bedding for me. We agreed a reasonable price given the intricacy of the work required and the number of pillowcases, cushion covers etc that formed the brief. Amanda understood and clarify every little detail with me along the way. Sent through photos of the material options (though I mostly gave her creative license and trusted her judgement).
I was amazed how beautiful the finished product is. It must have been a labour of love to complete the set and I'm so excited to have it as a gift for my wife.
Thank you Amanda. It's taken me a while to write this review. It was only recently opened given the nature of the timing of the gift, which took a bit longer than expected. I highly recommend Amanda and her grandmother and hope to make another quilt etc with you in the future.
