for a weekly contest on Spoonflower. I fell so in
This cheater quilt is part of my Eloise Robot collection. The patchwork Cheater Quilt was designed for a weekly contest on Spoonflower. I fell so in love with the character, that I designed a few creations for fun, and for Eloise of course. As I was designing each pattern to use in my quilt design, the story of Eloise began to come to life...Eloise Robot was an amazing robot, she was one of the female robots in the Land of Robots. Eloise loved to dance, she would whirl around the room with her wheelie shoes. Spinning, spinning until she could dance no more. Eloise Robot loved keys, she collected them actually. She had so many keys that she needed an entire room to hold them all. Eloise always loved a good challenge, so she carried a timer with her everywhere, and would time herself, to see how quickly she could unlock things. She liked to spell out her name using old typewriter keys, which she collected of course. There was nothing too tall for Eloise. She could use her super robot power and make her neck long enough to see over any obstacle. Eloise Robot was a kite flyer extraordinaire. With her robotic powerful, strong hands, she could let her kite fly high above the trees without a problem. Eloise Robot loved crafty things. She made her first banner with her name on it, and is so proud. She wears a big smile. Now she will create a few hundred with everyone's name. She's a robot, you know. I hope you enjoy the Eloise Robot Cheater Quilt, I have quite a few companion designs in my collection. I have included a photograph of my original sketch, which I did on a paper placemat while out to dinner with my husband. Dinner was yummy and we had a great time. Eloise will be a lovely bookmark to remembering a nice evening. I wrote a post about the story behind Eloise. The Invention of Eloise Robot (http://karenharveycox.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-daughter-manages-nearby-restaurant.html) So, please stop by and say hello to Eloise. She's quite a social gal.
