TWIST ~ This Week In Studio Time

Comfort quilt finished!  I was able to complete Megan’s gift and present it to her before her third chemo treatment.  My heart is in every stitch.  I gave a lot of thought as I was piecing and quilting for just the right thing to say on the label.

The bits and pieces that represent life’s ebb and flow, ups and downs, joys and sorrows are on the front.

I echo quilted the tumbler shape after I stitched in the ditch.  I decided to name the quilt, Lemonade for Megan because we all know what we are supposed to do when life gives us scraps.

The label side was made of a wide single paisley printed fabric in case she preferred it over the scrappy side.

My wish is that it brings her much comfort.

Snorkeling and Quilting

What do snorkeling and quilting have to do with each other, you ask?

Take a look at these photos:

I see stippling.  You?  Art mimics nature.

I was fortunate enough to be snorkeling on the North Shore of Grand Cayman the week before last and took these shots with my underwater camera.  Couldn’t help seeing the quilting patterns underwater.

I’ll leave you with another couple shots just for fun:
