Lucy's Gold

If there were a quilting Olympics, Lucy Bourque would get a gold medal for this Maritime Beauty.
Lucy began her Beauty in a workshop I gave in Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick last April. She was new to sewing curves and bias binding and tackling this Maritime Beauty was w-a-y outside of her comfort zone. I am sure she is feeling a huge sense of accomplishment in how much she stretched and grew to meet this challenge. Beautiful, beautiful job, Lucy - the colours are spectacular...and I do see gold... in your bottom spike.
If you would like to make your own Maritime Beauty, the pattern is available on my website.

  1. I was glad to see that Lucy was new to this curved stuff as I am too and its been holding me back , I kept seeing all the lovely ones that peopeple had made but thought it was beyond my skills...until now that I see what a beautiful job Lucy has done...perhaps there is hope for me too, Lucy has inspired me to give it a try.
    Thanks Lucy for sharing your Maritime Beauty with me. Job well done :))
