There is something so great about seeing your name in print, in a national magazine and knowing that your work will be appreciated by lots of quilters. I have to admit that the feeling never gets old and thinking back to when I started this quilting journey, I never thought this would be possible. So, at times I just have to pinch myself to make sure it is real.

Last August I quilted a quilt that I knew I could not share for a long time, so I am happy to now share the quilt with you. I knew the quilt would be in the April issue of American Patchwork & Quilting, but I had no idea it would be the 20th Anniversary Issue - doubly cool!
This super cute quilt is designed by Holly Hickman, she works for Moda and I was lucky enough to be asked to quilt it. Holly wanted the background of the quilt to look like tree bark. So, I had my sister (thanks Jess) sketch out the tree bark on the quilt top. She did a very rough sketch, then I added the detail to the quilting as I went along. The end result is definitely worth the effort I went to in added detail. ;-)

I had so much fun quilting this up, the lines and filler design are all free motion quilting.
The tree knots turned out so cool!
It is so great to share this project with you, finally. So, if you have the magazine - look it up on page 75 and if you want to make this darling quilt - we have kits in the shop here.
In other news, we have a giveaway going on here, I have a quilt on that is going to be amazing (I can't wait to share that with you) and I am pretty sure next week I will have a cover of my book with more info when it comes out. I can not wait to share that with you, so stay tuned! ;-)

That's incredible!
Fabulous quilting but really looking forward to Your Book!!!
Looking so forward to your book. Can hardly wait. I have bought and used your templates and I love them. I am a quilter but cannot draw diddly so your templates are wonderful to use. You didn't make one Thelma's quilt that I have missed, did you? I love it but haven't seen it available to purchase. Your quilting has been a inspiration for years and thank you so much for sharing, making videos and explaining "things".
That is killer! Totally rules! looks like wood or lava!
Gorgeous, gorgeous quilting! That's all I can say.

Dear Judy
My magazine arrive on thursday, but being as busy as one can get, I only got to open it on friday morning, after the twins arrived that I look after. They had a snow day, loved the fact that we could do anything to do with thread (string) and fabric. They saw the owl quilt being almost 11, they got so excited about this quilt. All the books they read, has owls or magical creatures in it. Thank you once again for inspiring us with your gift!
I'm pretty sure that is some of the most amazing quilting I have ever seen. How much fun is it?! SO well done.
I actually bought this magazine because I loved this quilt. I was in awe over the quilting and was so happy to see that it was you that quilted it. I love your quilting, you are a gifted artist!
I am always in awe of your quilting...I could stare at it for days!
This is very nice quilt ..all your design are very nice and very nice color combination.
