Took a year to complete this quilt! Pattern is by NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg called Cupola View. Fabrics used were also designed by Karen, the collection is called Earth Views.

My daughter @dausy created this water color of me quilting. This picture is one of my favorite possessions. I made the two baby quilts after she made the water color. The quilts were gifted to a friend with twins.

a quilt of warm-coloured squares framed with white

my grandma was a quilter and she said that there were a couple rules about making art which sounded …suspicious lol

but these were her rules:

whenever you can, take a class.
whenever you can, make art with other people. not collaborating necessarily, just spending time together making art

and that was it.

a quilt decorated with birds and flowers

she was a very practiced and talented quilter, and she took classes and went to quilt groups often

a quilt of colourful rectangles lined up into a circling path

she taught both me and my mom to sew (despite her being my paternal grandma) and my mom is also a talented quilter

a quilt of small triangles, framing panels of birds and feathers

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve learned something new when sharing the studio with someone (plus it’s a good way to spend time with friends)

@the-rear-admiral-reborn that’s one of my mom’s! if you look closely, she quilted words throughout. it’s a memorial piece to honour her dad (my grandpa), and the words are stories from his life

and that’s great! gotta love when you can finally see the finished piece
