Wooo Hooooooooooooo!
So, let's jump right on in and see what the lovely Edna requires from everyone today!
Here's my offering for this fun challenge:
I used to be a quilter before I discovered the noble art of card making. I was very fortunate to have a fabulous quilting shop just five minutes from where I used to work and spent many a long, dreamy lunch-break surrounded by gorgeous quilt patterns and jaw-droppingly beautiful fabrics. Unsurprisingly, I was late back from there on quite a few occasions!
These lovely AI ladies are having a giggle about 'Fat Quarters'.
For any non-quilters out there, a Fat Quarter is a pre-cut length of cotton fabric. To my rather juvenile brain in doesn't sound a million miles from being a butt joke: hence my card!
The pretty papers are from Basic Grey and I've tried to create a simple 'quilt block' effect as a background for the ladies. I've also thrown in a little subtle paper-piecing for good measure.

The Sisterhood have a done a great job with this theme, as you'll find out if you click here and take a look!

Congrats to you, well deserved. Cant wait to see more. I love these ladies and that sentiment, well I'm not a quilters butt so I certainly saw the humourous side to the comment. Love it, great card.
LOVE this one. I really need to get some more of these AI stamps.
Hilarious!! I have some quilting friend who would die to get a card like this, love it!!!
Hahahaha great job Jo, love the reference to the fat quarter - though my butt is heading towards a fat half LOL ... said she sitting with a bar of chocolate in front of her Ooops ;)
Congrats on your DT slot x
Right off the top, I love the gif you chose to celebrate joining us as for the next few months! Brilliant. And then equally brilliant is your card, where you captured the triumvirate of paper-piecing, quilting, and snark! Nicely done. :)
Gorgeous and fun! I like the quote on the vellum. It's so great having you for a sister!
This made me laugh out loud. PLUS it is gorgeous to look at, so a win-win situation!
