UPDATE! Check out the finished Girl Power quilt below. It came together nicely and I love the dark blue and stars backing. Completing the quilt was a restorative process for my soul. I needed to take the time to do something for the sheer joy of doing it. The top was pieced on a Janome 3160 QDC and quilted on a Babylock Jazz 2. I am offering up this quilt for sale, send me a message if you are interested!

My First Commissioned Piece

I was hesitant to sell any of my work, thinking it simply wasn’t good enough to sell. A dear friend convinced me to try, and this happened! I was able to be present when my friends saw the finished quilt for the first time, and it was the most heart-warming experience. I am so grateful for this opportunity to challenge myself, both in learning new technical skills but also challenging my belief in myself. I hope they treasure the quilt and love it well!

Pattern is Freja by Shiners View

Family Quilt

This one was a labor of love. A dear friend gave me a bag of little girl clothes and said “I trust your creative judgement.” I didn’t follow a pattern, I had nothing in particular in mind, I just cut material into 2 1/2 inch squares until I ran out and then put them back together.

Almost 800 little square later this is what I came up with. I also appliqued letters that were cut from little girl clothes, too. I just love how it all came together!!
