Today we're celebrating Bhai Dooj in India. It is a day of celebration of the relation of a brother and sister... I had made a VERY special gift for my little brother!
But before I show you what I made for him, here's a run through his reactions to it!!!
The tag read "For the world's BEST BROTHER, from the world's BEST SISTER"
Do you want to see what I made for him?
Here's my latest creation iQuilt!

Little brother with his iGod!!!
It is a portrait quilt 24" x 30" made using 3 shades of fabric. I made this one using the reverse applique technique. It sure was a challenge to make it, especially the beard part. But I thoroughly enjoyed making this one! It was a quilt that challenged me, and I always love challenges!!!
Do you like it???
I do not understand the story behind that actually awkward pose! Believe me, I have spent hours in front of the mirror trying to make sense of it! But this man had style enough to make it look so comfortable! He was a true icon!
Why would I gift a portrait of Steve Jobs to my little brother? Because he's a HUGE fan of his! Believe me you have to be a fan if you always had clean and crisp textbooks at the end of the school year and yet you read THREE biographies of a single man!!!
And the fact that Chaitanya started #includetech, and develops Apple applications, makes it even more relevant!
Verbs, Steps and Appetite are just some of his releases...

I did a small photo session with the iQuilt before I gave it to Chaitanya!

I am truly happy today... Not just because I made a challenging quilt, but because this is the second time I made something that has a lot of sentimental value for someone close to me!!!
It gives me immense satisfaction!

Shruti, If you offer a FB class in this reverse applique technique, please let me know. I'd like to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It came out fantastic & it's really nice to see your brother with his quilt, too. Have a super day!
ReplyDeleteShruti, I find it difficult to express how unbelievably talented you are. I thought you'd printed the image onto the fabric, lol. You truly are a fantastic sis!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is great - I am totally in awe of the incredible handwork you put into it!

ReplyDeletethis is absolutely amazing…I too am a fan, as well as my man of the hour. We met him in New York a few years ago…he was quite eccentric but very appealing…he liked to play with his chin when he was thinking .lol

ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing Struti! Excellent work, no wonder your brother loved it.
