This weekend was spent working on some Home Improvement projects and then followed up by taking care of sick kids. So there was not a stitch of sewing done all weekend. (Seriously, I am going a little nuts ;) But, Barbara (my wonderful MIL who lives 2 doors away, for those of you who are new around here) sure did get a lof of stitching done over the weekend and I am so excited to share her gorgeous finish with you.
Barbara came up for a visit last Tuesday saying she needed a quilt for a wedding on Saturday, ya, she is fast!!! She wanted to use a combination of my
Playing the Scales Tutorial and my
free PDF Drifting Pattern . So we picked out some fun greys, aqua's and a pop of Navy from Barbara's stash and she was off to cutting. And seriously, I turned around and she had a finish quilt top ;) And then a day later, it was a finish quilt!!! And isn't it just fantastic!!!! Love, Love, Love!!!
And I have to show you the quilting she did!!! She mixed a "broken glass" straight stitch with a beautiful curly swirl stitch which just totally added to the flowing design of the the quilt!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
I can't tell you how fun it is to see my patterns and tutorials made up into quilts ;) If you make your own quilt using any of my
patterns or
tutorials I would love to see them!!! You can send me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add them to my
Inspired by Happy Quilting Flickr Group ;)
Thanks so much Mom for sharing this today!!! Here is hoping we can get everyone feeling better so I can get back to stitching and have something to share soon ;)
Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!
