In the "Wild Quilting" class, Christina opened my eyes to combination designs and creating focal points. I haven't tried all of what I have learned but here are some quilting blocks I did yesterday.
I have to start by saying I absolutely LOVE Craftsy classes. This week I took "Wild Quilting" by Christina Cameli. What fun! I have also taken classes from Leah Day (whom I love and highly recommend for beginners of free motion quilting) and Angela Walters, another great teacher. In the "Wild Quilting" class, Christina opened my eyes to combination designs and creating focal points. I haven't tried all of what I have learned but here are some quilting blocks I did yesterday. I'm so excited to apply what I learned onto my next project. Check out all the wonderful Craftys classes. Enjoy!

Five years ago I designed the "Lovie Lap Quilt" with Pockets. I would visit my grandmother in the nursing home. Her hands were always cold. She would be sitting on them or rubbing them together. Now we all know that the nursing homes are kept very warm but for people who aren't moving much, they get cold. In January of 2015 I made a pattern for this lap quilt. Once I started selling my pattern I started getting stories from the people wanting to make the Lovie Lap Quilt for their loved ones. I love hearing who you are making the quilt for. I want you to know that I am touched by all your stories, whether it be the woman who's sister was in a terrible car accident, or whose friend had a stroke, or whose mother just went into a nursing home. I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I feel so blessed to think my design is helping others.
I have also had many people write to tell me they are using the Lovie Lap Quilt for their service project in their quilt guild or church groups getting together and making the quilts to donate to nursing homes. I would like to thank you all for all you are doing to help someone else. Keep the stories coming! |
