World Traveler

When I saw this new collection of fabrics at Connecting Threads I knew immediately I needed to buy a fat quarter pack and make a quilt for a special person.

Next Sunday will be the last Sunday service at our church where our much loved Pastor Sulynn has blessed us all for the past six years. It is a bittersweet time. She is still going to be in ministry, but it will be on a larger arena. There will be lots of travelling involved, hence "World Traveler".

This is made using the Accuquilt Go! Cutter and the half hexagon die. I added a few extra fabrics into the mix, then added a one inch rust colored inner border and another border of some of the Kaffee Fassett Liberty print from several years back.

These photos were all taken in different parts of our back yard, just to give it a head start on the "travelling"!

I decided to add this fleece backing because you just never know when you might need a warmer quilt in your travels. This print is supposed to represent undersea life, but it could be most anything! One thing for sure it is - colorful!

In the early morning light you can really see the wavy line quilting and all that crinkly, comfy wonderfulness. I believe it will serve her well.

Meanwhile there are still lots of pretty things happening out in our own backyard. It's a good life our good God has given us here and we are so thankful!

I had a partial cornea transplant this week and it went extremely well. Follow up with the surgeon will be on Wednesday and the stitches should come out then.

I hope there are lots of wonderful things in your world. Even for those of us who don't travel the whole world, there are still so many beautiful things to enjoy!

Hugs and kisses,
