Love pearls. Love pearl earrings. Love pearls bracelets. Love pearl necklaces. Love pearl embellishments. Love pearls. Yes, even the fake ones, since those are the only ones I can really afford. Costume jewelry? I'm on it! What doesn't look good in pearls? Jeans? Pearls. Sundress? Pearls. Comfy tee? Pearls. Name-brand suit? Pearls. Wedding dress? You've got it...PEARLS! So what do pearls have to do with quilts and quilting? Not so much. Unless you love both. Then you find a way to incorporate one into the other. A little inspiration... The last several designs come from a blog I discovered while writing this post. Shala lives in AK and posts mandalas on her lovely blog, Don't Eat the Paste, and Pinterest, which is where I found her work. Please visit her here and here. (And say thank you from Mary at Fleur de Lis Quilts!) Have a great week!
