quilts, quilts

Yay -- another finish of an old UFO! This was a row robin from a few years back. I had everyone make me pale neutral blocks.It was beautifully quilted with Baptist Fans by Darcie Grager, and I finally got the binding stitched down a couple of nights ago. It's now hanging in my office because...


This quilt (which was there) had to come down to go to PIQF! It got juried in, and I'm so excited!

Be sure to let me know if you'll be at PIQF -- I'll be there on Friday for sure, and maybe Saturday... it's only a month away!

Congratulations!!! That's awesome news. I'll have to be on the lookout for your quilt at the show. Hopefully I'm around town to go to PIQF this year.

Your quilt was my absolute favorite at PIQF! I commented on it on my blog Sister's Choice Quilts, and one of my readers told me it was yours. Awesome work! I was thrilled to have been able to see it. And now I want to make one for myself!
