More Joy


Not quite 12 x 12 (more like 18 x 36) but it is my JOY quilt.
Part of the :"Dare to Dance" Project and published in the block of the same name.
And a pattern is available in my etsy shop.


Love Birds
Original design by Sandra Starley

Hope you are feeling the joy!

Joy's Joy!

Joy's Joy

Recently I have been thinking about finishing up the couple of words that I missed.  I have small knitting/spinning group that meets every couple of weeks. One of our group is named Joy. I had an idea pop up, Joy's joy is spinning!  Her birthday is this week, so I wanted to make a surprise gift of a 12x12 art quilt. I took photographs one meeting when the others had their wheels spinning yarn. I am in search of a wheel of my own, so pretended that this was a scouting job.  I quilted "twist" into the background and used a bit of my spindle spin yarn for the bobbin and tail of fiber. Karen's husband (a woodworker) provided the hanging stick. Joy loved this gift!
