I finally finished Penny Candy.  When I presented my mom with it, she started crying!

I'm almost done with the quilt top for my mom's quilt-it'll be a surprise for her when she gets out of the hospital!  I'm excited to surprise her with it.

This is Moda's Scrumptious fabric that Joslyn and I will be using for our fair quilt!  It's absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see it in person.

I'm back and I have plenty of fabric to show for it...

Out of all of this fabric, I acquired a vintage piece.  It's a panel that depicts old storybook characters on it with yellow and white stripes in the background.  I think it'll make a perfect gender-neutral baby quilt for someone!  It's very crinkly, but after ironing, I'm sure it will be just like new again.

One of my friends, Joslyn, quilts as well.  We are planning a quilt that we found here for the NC state fair.  It's called the Ruby, Pearl, and Opal quilt and it's simple yet beautiful.  I will post the pictures as our progress continues and on into the fair.  We will use a Moda Layer Cake, although we're not sure which one yet.  Any one that we pick though will be sure to turn out beautifully!

I'm going to my great-grandmother's this week.  We're leaving tomorrow.  I won't be posting anything for a while, but I am excited to be able to show her my progress on a couple of my quilts.  She's a quilter as well and is therefore very enthusiastic about my quilts, although mine are all machine sewn and hers are all handmade.  Her's are simpler, but much more beautiful in my eyes because every singe stitch she made on it was by hand.  I wish I could hand quilt, but I can hardly hand-sew (does a whipstitch count?), so there's not much hope for that!  Oh well...she loves to see my projects anyways!

I got the fabric for the two of the three borders around my latest quilt-it's a taupe color with a pinkish tint to it.  It's great and I can't wait to use it!

Currently working on setting up this site, so expect more (better) posts soon!
