Lots of hard blocks plus fun applique and embroidery in the inner border.
I added bugs along with the flowers and less fruit 🏵️🐞🐛🦋🍐and...

...the journey 💜 continues

This getting grey haired woman is making it official with a specific end date...
Closing my longarm quilting business June 30, 2020.

After a 3 month wait in lockdown, finally had my second cataract surgery. Now that I can see well enough to longarm again, will finish only the orders I have on hand.

Thank you to everyone that have waited patiently for your quilts, I will be contacting you soon.

We have several up and coming longarm quilters in our area that I would be happy to refer you to.

There have been a few silver linings to this virus with lots of time to reflect on what is important. Time is precious and I am looking forward to spending my time with family, friends and being creative.

Moonbear Longarm Quilting has taken me on quite the journey. I appreciate all the wonderful quilters and longarmers I have met and friended along the way 🥰

As a member of Annie's Star Quilt Guild, it was an incredible honor to be Featured Quilter at our last show. Thank you to an amazing group of quilters.

Happy trails! Jo

One of many gorgeous quilts our featured quilter, Missie Carpenter will have displayed at our quilt show. First weekend in November. Silver Dollar Fairgrounds

ASQG - OMG!! ONLY 9 MORE DAYS TILL OUR QUILT SHOW!!
A little sneak peak again of our Featured Quilters work!! This was started in a class years ago with Phil Beaver and finished this year. The flowers were all from fabric we painted in the workshop and then cut petals and leaves and fused them on to background.
