TIllustrator

Dear Readers,

In the Spring my former niece, Jennifer, remarried a man with two children.  So since I have made all the other nieces and nephews quilts I decided to make those two children a quilt. 

So in the Spring, I signed up to take a class from Dorinda Evans at the June MQA meeting on using the Stripology rulers to make a pattern by Gudrun Erla out of her Stripology Mixology 3 book called Kimberly.  BTW Gudrun names most of her patterns with girls name.  

I chose to make this one out of various Tula Pink fabrics as Tula is at her core an illustrator.  So I found out Julie, the new step-daughter, loves to draw and do crafts.  So I thought Tula's fabrics would make the best quilt for her.  For the background I found a wide back in Tennessee that I thought look like doodles.  I thought that would be perfect for a girl who likes to draw.  

It should arrive New York tomorrow.  I hope that she will love it.  Welcome to the family Julie!

Sew on,

Terry
