| a very HAPPY thursday HAPPY hour sunny day HAPPY finish xo |
 |
| complete w a long sunny afternoon shadow ~ chic country finishes up 57" square ~ u can find the pattern here |
 |
| and i didn't wait long to get it loaded on my longarm...i settled on a wavy line instead of straight and i am HAPPY |
 |
| so happy to machine quilt this vintage beauty for joyce |
 |
| aside from hand quilting i think the loop the loop design finished this quilt beautifully |
 |
| joyce rescued this hand pieced quilt top from the st. vincent thrift store for six dollars ~ she said she rode home from the store that day hugging it close to her xoxo |
 |
| and the second beauty is pieced with dear jane by joyce |
 |
| machine quilted w modern twist xo |
 |
| and i LOVE them both ~ thank you joyce xo |
 |
| totally inspired by sherri lynn wood to further explore my LOVE for improv |
 |
| and create a quilt for sam and lani...when i found these two fabrics at vv i knew they were the perfect start for this quilt |
 |
| i added a more few fom my stash |
 |
| and pulled out my solid scraps |
 |
| seams i am definitely drawn to the curves |
 |
| and all |
 |
| the |
 |
| possibilities |
 |
| and i love where it is has taken me... |
 |
| kinda crazy that these share my design wall right now...improv curves on the left.... jenny's qcr chic country on the right... i love that they have both taught me a bit about curves and influenced each other |
 |
| our first giving quilt is almost done ~ just need a binding and a final decision on it's new home |
 |
| i first saw eyespy meets polaroid here on lillibellelane ~ i made a few blocks for blake and i was hooked xo lots more inspiration on pinterest too like lori holt's board here |

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