This is my family room and the new home for my latest quilt. I think it fits right in :) Maybe I'm a bit "biased"....hahaha (I love sewing humor!)
This quilt has been on my machine for about a week and I've put probably 8 hours into the quilting over that time.
The binding is a french fold, machine stitched to the front and hand stitched to the back. All the dense quilting makes this a really eye catching quilt, plus ultra long lasting (good for all the use it will get in front of the T.V. from my kids!) :) It turned out better than I expected :) And that's always nice!
but most of them I absolutely L.O.V.E.!

Oh how I love texture.....{sigh}

WHY didn't I know all your secrets when I was living there???? You and I should have been friends a LONG time ago. There is so much we connect on! Man, I am such a loser for missing out on getting to know you better while I could. You are so talented and awesome and like all the things that I like. I guess now we'll just have to be Pinterest friends. BAAA! Seriously, you are amazing. and, do you take custom orders? :)
MISS YOU!

I love the color selection. I am trying to get better at choosing combinations that are vibrant but don't clash. There are some great lessons in quilting..... :)
