a fig tree finish

i have a large moda fig tree stash because i have made many fig tree quilts ~ this one was started in 2012

fig tree has such a vintage / comfort feel to me...and a string quilt is a lovely thing plus a great stash buster ... a bit more here

a very special birthday inspired me to finish this one up

machine quilted w trailing vine

bound w the perfect moda cream

complete w a stamped label ~ pretty sure my special someone doesn't visit my blog but jic i will share more photos later xoxo

off to a good start ~ chic country with the quick curve ruler xo

it is sewing time again and i am loving this

took me awhile to pick up where i left off , i made every possible mistake, had to do some MORE  picking but i am finally getting it !

i took a class for the quick curve ruler chic country pattern  w the wonderful jenny pedigo sewkindofwonderful  thru the seattle modern quilt guild [pictured here with the smqg class blocks behind her]  i definitely benefited from the class cuz i am sooo directional challenged xo

and i also got back to customer quilts yesterday...machine quilting linda's happy happy polka dot quilt with loop the loop

                                                        happy tuesday xo pam
