And
MY 16th Anniversary
to my sweet man!
Sew...
Thank you for stopping by today...
Shall we get started?
So...when I think of Rush Hour...I think of TIME...
My commute in the mornings can be
a smooth 20 minutes...
or if it is raining...
A HOT 75 minutes...
Sew...it's a love hate relationship for me
with time..
I saw that photo above that I took in NYC a few
years back when I thought about what I would
do for this hop and with this fabric...
It's all about time...and rushing...and finding my way
through a different route when my usual freeway is
at a stand-still. So, I reflected that in my little quilt.
In this quilt as you go quilt...each block boasts of a different
free-motion quilting pattern...
The middle of my little "clocks" boasts of how I get lost
when trying to navigate around all that traffic...
Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's CRAZY!
The back is a road map all it's own...with a few road signs
along the way...
And don't miss my little cushion...that's my car seat!
When I jump in my little Fiat every morning, I throw my purse
in, followed by setting my coffee down..
and then putting my morning papers in a seat..
So all those words seemed fitting...on a sweet cushion!
Can you see it? That little ruffle was a perfect set of
Road lines...You know you have to stay inside the lines
when you drive!!!!!
And when I am lucky...all the clocks sync-up and I
can arrive on-time! The world is in perfect order
and I am a very happy commuter!
And the entire day follows suit with
calm...awwhhh... I really PRAY
for those days!!!
And that's how it will start for me..
Each day, in this little place...
with a wee little light on, a comfy
pillow, my little quilt and my favorite
line in my favorite song... right above me
to remind me how the day, no matter
what the commute is like...
When it starts with Him,
It's gonna be a GREAT RIDE!
Please join all these other talented ladies today...
They have worked hard and
brought their creative BEST
to the table...

It has been a pleasure!

ReplyDeleteOh Lana, I just love it. The circle mimicking the clock, brilliant! Love the little ruffle around the edge as well, and your setting area is such a great place to begin your morning.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy sweet 16 to you and yours!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt you made. I love it. Happy Anniversary too.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous, Lana! Wow! Perfect for rush hour or any other time!
ReplyDeleteStupendous job! I love all of your free motion work. I hope to do that someday. I love the ruffle idea too!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is just stunning with all the circles and quilting...love it! The pillow is just a little icing on the cake and the ruffles throw both projects over the top. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to both of you!
ReplyDeleteI love your little quilt. The concept is perfect for this hop and your quilting depicts the rush we all feel so often. Black and white stripes??? .....so THAT is what we are suppose to stay between when we drive????? Very clever idea.
What a great post, your story telling skills it right up there with you quilting. I love how you explain your day with this quilt. Great work.
ReplyDeleteWow Lana! I love this quilt - so very beautiful. And I especially love the car pillow! I have terrible sciatic nerve issues and riding in a car is sometimes challenging. A pillow like this would be so helpful...the one I'm using is, shall we say, a bit ugly. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, that is a very pretty quilt :)
ReplyDeleteGreat project. congrats on placing today.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt....love the circles and all of the different quilting lines! Happy 16th too!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and fun story to go with. :)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely wonderful. so very pretty and I love how you used the different FMQ for the different clocks. Yup when we start our day with Jesus the days mood has been set and what a difference it makes. thanks for sharing. quilting dash lady at Comcast dot net
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your post! Your quilt is such a cutie and the seat cushion is perfect. I almost didn't recognize that fabric the print is so small. Good use of that paerticular pattern. I've struggled as to how to use it properly. And I SEW agree with you GIVE ME JESUS...I can hear the singer's voice but the name escapes me??? I hate when I do that! It is a beautiful song and lyrics.

OOPS, do you know your word ID is ON??? I had to have Marlene tell me before I realized mine was on because you can't see it on your own blog, just those who reply. Samm can tell you how to turn it off if you need help.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is adorable with the ruffles and rickrack as a finishing touch. Just perfect. To be honest I can't remember seeing anything with these fabrics that I haven't liked. Your morning spot is the perfect lace to start our day with a cup of coffee and the Lord. Did you make your wall plaque? I would love to have one.
