Urban Cabin from Lemonade Life...

Michelle from Lemonade Life created this awesome quilt. I am in love with the machine quilting she did herself.  I also love the back of this quilt, I am too impatient to get creative with the backs of my quilts, I a so anxious to have the quilt finished!

It was a busy and productive week in the sewing room. I’m so proud to be finished with the Urban Cabin quilt. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

The back is pieced – and is probably the most special. The white squares are filled with Bible verses, written by the ladies at our church.

I named this quilt “Lori’s Love” because once the top was complete, one lady asked if I purposely choose a pattern that put L’s (Lori’s Initial) all over the front. It was a lucky coincidence — but a great one!

I quilted this bugger on my home machine, and I just about gave up. I cannot tell you how much I regretted that decision when I was pushing and pulling this large, heavy thing through the tiny throat of my machine. I did impress myself and did my first ever FMQ on the green border. It was actually fun.

In the end, it was worth every drop of sweat. And, I finished just in time. On Friday, I stitched on the binding as Lori was returning home for a weekend visit from MD Anderson. It was a true joy to deliver this gift of encouragement to such a sweet, strong woman.
