Lakeland

I’m still plugging away on my collection of Moda’s Frivols.  This is Frivol 4: Lakeland with fabric from the Windermere collection.  I don’t usually choose to quilt with soft colors but I really love this fabric.

Hopefully, all of these sweet geese will make someone very happy, because I have a recipient in mind! Several of my friends are pregnant and I just love making baby quilts.  Yay for more reasons to quilt!

I used a soft white print from the collection and quilted it will a medium size stipple.

The pattern called for an extra border of flying geese but I decided to leave it out.  I didn’t think the quilt needed to be any bigger and its current size meant I didn’t need to piece my backing. Win-win!

Of course, life in Japan keeps me on my toes.  I started teaching English at a local preschool a few times a month.  The kids are so precious and I adore our sessions together.  Last week, I taught them how to make Valentine’s day cards.  Kawaii! (“Cute!” in Japanese)
