Gigi's Birthday Quilt

Remember my Liberty Churn Dash? Although I love the Liberty prints, the colors weren't anything that fit in around the house. Plus, I hate purple. So I hung it in the closet and thought about who in my life would appreciate it most. I am not sure why I didn't see it immediately, but the color scheme include all of my Grandma's favorite colors. Like exactly. Sooooo, I hung on to it and saved it for her 92nd birthday which was Feburary 6th. Her ninety second birthday! I can only hope those genes run through me.

I didn't have any yardage at the house for a back, so I pieced one out of, again, her favorite colors. Purple makes me nauseous, but she loves it, along with teal and pink. I was excited to gift her a quilt because it has become my version of 'art'. She not only passed down the artistic genes, but made sure we had a ton of art exposure as kids. I rather love having her in my life. Being among the youngest of the grandkids, I feel so lucky to have had nearly 30 years with her.

My mom did the gorgeous quilting, naturally. I can't wait to learn to use the long arm!

Liberty Churn

I received these gorgeous pieces of Liberty a few weeks ago and immediately cut them up for this lovely quilt. I was almost done, and then I ran out of Kona Ash. Needless to say, I finally got some more and have finished it!

I love the churn dashes on point! They look so elegant. 

For some reason, I am much more drawn to cool palettes than warm. This quilt top really hits the spot for me. I can't wait to get it finished. For now, it will sit in my pile of unfinished quilt tops while I work on more WIPs!

Just Keep Sewing...

I don't have a lot of words today because I am sewing my face off. I am enjoying my three day weekend to the fullest, but also have some work sewing to finish up. So here is the sewing I am treating myself with every time I reach a goal. :)

These beauties arrived at my house on Monday.

I am so thrilled to get to play with them! Speaking of swoon, that's what I am thinking of making with the blues! I've had the pattern for sooo very long and have never made one. I know, I can't believe it either. Stay tuned, time to get cutting!
