Humor makes the world go 'round! This original quilt reminds us to smile... and to have fun with our outfits. The quilt was made with hand applique and embellishment; machine piecing and quilting; and fusing. Each figure has a unique hairstyle and outfit, including a purse, beaded necklace, and earrings!

Life Isn't Perfect, but Your Outfit Can Be, by Margie Bendure (Texas, USA)
Margie Bendure says she bought the fabric for the faces years ago at the Houston International Quilt Festival and was waiting for an idea to hit. She was inspired by seeing her nieces lined up for photos at her nephew's wedding... so tall, stylish, and fun-loving. Check out the cute pet on a long leash, shown below:
Miniature purses add so much style to the outfits, shown below. (Note: You can see more of Margie's wonderful quilts on Instagram @margiebendure!)
