Quilting & A Winner!

Some of you were very close! :-)
We were hiking the Cape Flattery trail on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
A truly gorgeous area! 
Thanks for all your guesses! The winner this time is .....

Woolen Sails!  :-) Congratulations!
If I could have your snail mail addy, I will send a little surprise out on Monday. 

In quilting news~ yes, I still do quilt. Quite a lot actually, but that is a whole 'nother post! LOL
Anyway, I finished a store sample last week for my local quilt shop. Yes, I have a quilt shop in town!! :-) I was so happy to find it! And really surprised to learn she had been open nearly 2 years!!! But she is just now getting really set up, making a classroom, finding teachers etc.  It is all really coming together and I was thrilled to sew a sample for the shop.


This is called Autumn Meadow and is a free pattern on the Riley Blake website. 
It measures 45" x 45". 

I quilted it in an allover floral pattern. And for the first time, I braved sewing a binding on by machine~
I used a ton of clips, and it worked!! I only got a little wonky in a couple spots, but overall, I was very happy.  I figured she will eventually sell it, and the sewn binding will be sturdy for a toddler, and handle many washings with ease. 

I hope you are enjoying a little quilting too~
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Thank you for picking my name, love surprises.
Beautiful quilt and I am thinking about quilting, but I need to reorganize and clean up my room, so started that today.

How big is your town? Just surprised it took two years to realize a quilt shop was there. Usually word of mouth from quilter to quilter gets the word out. But how exciting for you to have found it.

Congratulations to the winner. Your finished sample quilt looks terrific in those colors.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
