    Ana sent me this lap quilt....

    I just love these birds don't you? The swirling branches are just adorable in the fabric.

    So I just used swirls and vines to compliment the fabric and made a different textures in the patches.... I finished the border with swirls, leaves, and flowers.


    I used hobbs polydown batting and quilted this freehand on my INNOVA.

    Thanks for looking.

    Lovely. I see you are not letting that LA get lazy after its last servicing. ;-)
