And DONE.  My Latest Quilt

Haaaallelujah!  The angels were certainly singing today when I pulled my new quilt out of the dryer, warm, fresh and ready to snuggle.  What shall I name her?  I was thinking Tilt-A-Whirl.  Kind of a childhood-retro-amusement park-remeniscent sort of thing.

Retreat Recap & Some Big News!

Finally recovered from a weekend of quilting insanity with my guild! What a stinkin blast. Tucked in a cozy little mountain retreat center, snow sparkling and fireplaces glowing…we giggled, we gabbed, we stuffed our faces with popcorn & taco-flavored chips, and sewed til our eyes bled…well at least mine. Not bled, really, but I did […]
