Another Side of Me!

Hello Hello!!

I can't believe it was over a month ago, but I shared with you my very first pen and ink piece that I did some years ago. I sooo want to thank you for your wonderful comments. Now, time to share another side of crafty me...quilting! Yes, quilting! The first picture is a piece I started a few years ago. It has been packed away in a tote waiting for me to finish her up. While talking to Jackie (Scattered Threads) about her quilts(she is an amazing stitcher), she motivated me to pull this out and get busy. So, I finally did!! I only have the rows to sew and plan a backing with the leftover fabby. The fabby is Moda by Robyn Pandolph. The pattern is log cabin.



The next quilt is my very first quilt I did after my surgery in 2002. It is also my first little quilt! I fell in love with the idea of little quilts after finishing this one. I even did the quilting myself...glad you can't see the rough areas! LOL Oh, the china cabinet belonged to DH's great-grandmother. His aunt recently gave it to me and I just adore it. I am going to get some Old English to revive it a bit. I am using it for my Boyds Bears and cross stitch goodies from friends and my own creations. The praying angel was a newborn gift for my oldest DD and is just darling.


That's it for today! I just wanted to share with you and am looking forward to sharing more quilts with you in the future.
Hugs & Stitches!!

The quilt is coming along very nice Joy. Love the colors too. Your first quilt with the doll and bears all look very good in your treasured heirloom piece. I think I see a familiar piece. LOL. Thanks for sharing dear. Love it.
