3/4 LUCKY CHARM

Thank you to Jaybird Quilts 

for the team support and guidance through 

Weeks 3 & 4 of Journey 2 Nebula. 

These 2 weeks were spent creating the LUCKY CHARM pillow.

Week 1: 

I successfully completed cutting out all my charms from True Colors fabrics by Tula Pink.

And then- I was surprised by DH with 

plane tickets he bought at the last minute for a 

trip to finally go see our grandson!!!

So, I quickly grabbed some Tula scraps 

to create a special decorative headband 

and triple layered mask for flight... 

& was ready to go.

Flying during quarantine leaves a lot to be desired... but it is VERY worth the hugs awaiting. So we masked up... & dragged on. 

After arrival we decontaminated- 

and then our reward:

Meet Abraham Martin 4 Months Old!

Back in my quilting room-  

I returned to my journey- week 4:

Our FB board is great for shared ideas and learnings. This week I picked up on the tip for using B&W to evaluate the real lay out....

Once layout decision was finalized... I began sewing one row at a time.

I used a fusible batting and old fabric for backing

Once quilted, I shaped edges and created a puffy border using 2" strips of batting

Then I clipped the topper, border, and backing ... 

and completed sewing
