Finished! It only took a mere year and a half! I started this quilt in January 2011 and finished the top shortly after that.

Since she is off for the summer she has undertaken a challenge to read 40 books (adult or young readers) before the end of August! Can you imagine? That's like a book every two days! She has been … [Continue reading...]
Yes, it has been ages since I've worked on my Swoon quilt! But I still love these huge bright blocks and I still plan to finish them all! Last summer I made 4 and yesterday I finally got out my pattern again and made a fifth block. This one features a fabric from Tula Pinks Prince Charming line and … [Continue reading...]
Finally! I can reveal this quilt that I first made about 2 months ago. I finished the quilting on it this week because it's a gift for my sister Jackie for her birthday.
