JOY Fabric project - Finished: Over the last few months, I have been lucky enough to work with Tamara Kate’s new collection for Michael Miller Fabrics - JOY. It’s a beautiful collection with fun, bright colours - a reminder that spring is coming soon! My husband and I went out this weekend to take some photos at a park nearby in snowy Ottawa, it was nice to get outside pics on a sunny day!Quilty details:* 52″ square finished size* Fabric is almost all of Tamara Kate’s JOY collection, with a few Michael Miller Cotton Couture Solids mixed in; backing is the main “Grandiflora” print* Block loosely based on a traditional “chubby star” type block with a pinwheel centre; I drafted a basic pattern for myself to follow (after sketching out some ideas)* Free motion quilted by me on my domestic (a Janome 8200 QC) - using 5 thread colours to match (black, white, pink, yellow, teal), mostly Aurifil 40-wt and some Wonderful 50-wt – probably the most thread I’ve ever put into a small quilt!I really enjoyed making this quilt from start to finish. I felt like it was the perfect project for me right now, with a slow pace and a little bit of experimentation with design and quilting.This quilt is going to my mother-in-law: a part-birthday, part-Mother’s Day, and part-congratulations quilt - as she just became a grandmother for the first time this week (and I became an aunt, too!) I hope she is able to use and love it for years to come!Linking up with Finish it up Friday!* * * If you would like to find some JOY fabric of your own - check out my Instagram for a fat quarter bundle giveaway, open from Friday 23 February to Sunday 25 February!The fabric line is also available at the following online stores: www.thequilterstrunk.com www.kaysquiltshop.com www.hawthornethreads.comwww.cottoncuts.comwww.equilter.comwww.cottonpickinstitchn.etsy.comwww.fabric.com And check out Tamara Kate’s website for more information on her designs! -- source link
