Oh Minnesota - This is SO NOT funny. A blizzard in April. There is no other way to console myself, other than to pick out fabric for 3 new quilts. (All in bright summer fabrics) #ankastreasures #fabricpull #scrappyquilt #logcabinquiltSo the miserable winter is back again, but at least someone is enjoying the new snow. This is Batman’s lair in Antarctica, surrounded by a frozen forest. Thanks @saralivingood for the idea! #lovetheseboys #minnesotawinterI hope you had a Happy Easter! We enjoyed time with our boys, both sides of the family and way too much good food. The things that sticks with me is a comment from Sunday School - Easter is the center point of time, the point at which all of time hinges on, the reason the rest of time was created. I had never thought of it in quite that way before.Topic of the day for the #igquiltfest is quilting up close. This quilts was one of my favorites to quilt. The background fabric(yarn dyed Essex linen) in combination with the wool appliqué and wool batting just made the quilting pop! The quilt is from my Joyful Stitcher book. #ankastreasures #joyfulstitcher #joyfulstitcherbook #woolapplique #woolbatting #quiltersofinstagram #fmq #freemotionquilting #apqsToday’s #igquiltfest topic is quilts in the wild. Here are two favorites - one from my Joyful Stitcher book and the other from my Starstruck book. #joyfulstitcher #starstruck #ankastreasures #chevronfabric #woolapplique #quiltersofinstagramCalendar
