| loved making this so much the first time that i am making another and teaching a class at quilting mayhem in snohomish |
 |
| i am just getting started ~ these little 4 1/2" orange peel blocks are sooo cute xo |
 |
| this quilt makes one big hot mess but i LOVE it~ more about my first small world here |
 |
| machine quilted with kandinsky ~ nancy's new block of the month at pacific fabric beginning in may |
 |
| it is made entirely with american made brand solid cottons |
 |
| love this quilt love these colors!! |
 |
| love this book ~ love this mess! i started making this improv quilt a few weeks ago ...more here |
 |
| lily made me a few crochet baskets last year ...i love using this one on my cutting table |
 |
| this week i played w the string block ~ i am doing the seaslabbom using sherri lynn wood and her book the improv handbook for modern quilters and matt as inspiration ~ fusing the two for lani and sam's queensize improv quilt ~ so far i am a happy girl with this craziness xo |
 |
| 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 |
 |
