Amphibian Ascending by Irma Lubbe 21" x 43" This week's inspiration comes from Irma Lubbe. Irma has made several Jane Sassaman-inspired quilts and this is another beautiful one! She didn't want to run traditional quilting lines throughout, so she quilted with a decorative stitch that floats in the background. She like how Jane Sassaman's use of the zigzag stitch gives vibrance to the shapes.
Irma included Jenny Lake and Woodlands Gradient along with other fabrics from her stash. For sharing, Irma received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!

Giraffe by Pat Ferguson, 20" x 25" This week's inspiration comes from Pat Ferguson and I'll let her tell the story of her Giraffe:
"I had sandwiched the gradient and was going to tackle free motion quilting. It was in my stack for a very long time. I kept putting it off. Then I purchased an acrylic painting of the giraffe. One day when the two unfinished projects bumped into each other in the basket I got an idea. I cut the giraffe out and laid it on the fabric. Voila! A new project was born. I don’t know the artist. I bought it in a shop that sells art from Africa. I now adore it on my wall." She used a retired gradient called Seaworthy which shows the value of all of us who have rich stashes of fabric!
