Stacked Stone Border

Back in 2015, Michael and I spent 10 days trekking in the Himalayas. As we walked along, we passed many stacked stone monuments and I marveled at how they stayed in place.

At our highest point, I made a small one for myself…..

…including a few daisy-esque flowers that were in the field.

Now, why am I talking about the Himalayas on Free-Motion Friday?

That’s because today’s border is called “STACKED STONES” and I thought about this sweet memory as I quilted.

Check it out…..

This design will definitely go into my “use often” folder!!

Wavy Border for the win

I have been working on a new YouTube series, thinking about easy designs for quilting borders…..

….starting out with Wavy Lines…..

Now you may look at my stitching and say “THAT isn’t very good at all”, and honestly, those were my thoughts as I was quilting…..

BUT, when you look at the reverse side (where the thread and fabric are the same color), ALL you see is the TEXTURE!!

We all need to remind ourselves of this when we start saying that we can’t quilt!!
