The only sewing I did was to get the binding on this beauty. The blocks came from a swap I participated in on HGTV. I made 3 quilts from that swap, the others I think I've shown y'all before. I designed my layout for this one in EQ6 (or maybe it was EQ5) 4 or 5 years ago and put the top together. My big idea was to hand quilt it. Well, life intervened and I only took about a dozen stitches in it. ;-) So when my Mom mentioned that her quilt group would do it, I quickly ripped out my stitches and sent it off to her to have it hand quilted by her & her friends. :-)) I got it back last week. They did a wonderful job quilting it! I got the binding on as fast as I could and washed it today.
I'm planning on taking it with me when I go to Portland later this week to meet up with some of my HGTV friends for a little retreat. We are going to the Outdoor Quilt Show at Sisters on Saturday. I'm really getting excited~ but have much to do before I leave! So I'll be on a blog break until sometime next week. Don't have too much fun without me! LOL ;-)
Until then~
Happy stitchin'!!
