It's a quilting day for me!

Yesterday, I received this painting from folk artist Jessie Lavon. I love her work!

Jessie comes from a family of quilters...her love and knowledge of quilts really shows in this scene! I am so lucky to now own this! You can visit Jessie today at Purple Cucumbers Folk Art.

I am taking up the needle again and quilting in a hoop. This is a small wall quilt...under 36" square...it is made from my stash of quilting fabrics...including many from designer Kaffe Fassett. The front of the quilt is a "brick" pattern. However, I am quilting it from the reverse side, following the design of the extremely large floral print! This is so much easier than trying to mark a design and more interesting than just outline quilting each "brick"!

IT'S FINISHED!!!!!!!

just in time too....I have to go back to work tonight...so good to have this finished...!

Thank-you for all your comments and encouragement along the way!
