Butterfly Quilt - The Saga

So I agreed to make a quilt for a friend, oh about 6 months ago or so.  She loved butterflies and purple and that was what I had to go by.  I roamed the internet and came across the Butterfly Quilt by Tula Pink and thought it was perfect.  I like challenging myself and this one definitely would.  I mean, CURVED SEAMS!!, and lots of them.  (Psst, I had never sewn a circle before, don't tell anyone).


This one was quite the adventure... At time I thought I was over my head... At times I loved it... At times I screamed.  But I stuck with it and now I am so proud of it and it'll be hard to give it away.

Owl Baby Quilt

I saw this panel online the other day and decided to order it to practice some different free motion quilting ideas on (Angela Walters says, practice practice, practice!!).  I used a wood grain pattern for the tree, swirls and pebbles for the top of the tree, semi circles for the feathers of the owls, a pointy geometric allover for the grass, and some other stuff.  I think it turned out aiiight :)


IG Mini Swap - Finally a Post!

OK... so my IG mini swap partner received her mini over a month ago and I'm just not getting around to posting some pictures of it.  That holidays are busy!!  She loves squirrels, peacock feathers and Tula Pink so that was what I had to go with and came up with this design.  Piecing and quilting by me.  Enjoy!
