Today I’m sharing a very special family quilt.  I call it "Champagne and Roses", and I made it to celebrate my Sister-in-Law!  She is traveling to Vegas today, sitting next to the man of her dreams, preparing to share vows and celebrate their endless love!!

Congratulations Ellen & Nick, we love you both,
and wish you many years of wedded bliss!

I came up with the inspiration to make this after seeing a small yellow barn quilt on an old country road in Iowa.  Ellen has always loved red, and she has 4 grown children and it seemed like those 4 stars represented her family becoming one in the center.  I had a lot of fun making this one, and photographing it! (her brother is behind the quilt and we laughed a lot that day dragging that quilt around a beautiful Catholic church in the rain LOL)
When I make quilts, it's not just fabric and colors, there is a lot of thought that goes into the fine details.  There are a lot of memories in those 3 layers for me, and I almost always shed a few tears when I make a special family quilt.  I have been in their family for many years now, and it hasn't always been pretty, but I hope she knows no matter where we all live in the world, we love all of them very much! 
Ellen and Nick, we hope you have a wonderful time in Vegas,
and can't wait to see pictures!!

Pattern was my creation using simple half square triangles with
two red layer cakes from The Fat Quarter Shop:

    Hey y'all,
    I'm Gina Tell...

    Thanks for checking out with my blog!  ​I started quilting around 2003 when I first moved to Austin Texas, and I knew absolutely nothing about a sewing machine! My journey started with lots of mistakes, and questions, because social media tutorials didn't really exist at that time.  I will be telling some of the ridiculous stories of my early sewing days, some handy sewing tips, and sharing some of the fun sewing projects I do for the Fat Quarter Shop!
