Okay everyone, I went on a cruise to Mexico and had the opportunity to hold this beautiful baby lion. He was so cute and cuddly and relaxed. When I rubbed the inside of his ears he just melted in my arms. What an amazing experience

I hope you have all your Christmas gifts gathered by now. I just finished my last holiday quilt for a customer, so now I can finish up mine! Pictured here is a lovely quilt done by my friend Dania. I really like the pattern--in fact I like it so much I had to get the book for it. I am planning to use a jelly roll I had languishing in my stash, of course then I had to do a search for  the rest of the fabrics to complete the quilt( borders, bindings, sashing and backing) I was lucky to find it and at a great price--just 4.00 per yard for MODA!!! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Also, be on the lookout for an announcement after the holidays.......Cheers!!

This photo is of a block of the month quilt.  Signing up for a block of the month can be a great way to challenge yourself to complete a large project and refine your piecing skills. This particular quilt is from Quilted Treasures in Anthem Arizona and was pieced by the owner, Diane Grubic.

This is a couple photos of an amazing quilt made by Connie J. She and Vicki O (they're sisters) each made this New York Beauty, but Vicki did hers in a bright, vibrant color palette, while Connies is in the fall colors. What a awesome accomplishment and a great idea to make a challenging quilt together so you can support each other to the finish!!

I've been MIA for awhile but hope to get more photos of completed quilts up more regularly. This is a few snapshots of a beautiful New york Beauty quilt I did for my friend Vicki. What an amazing quilt!! I really had a blast taking the belts off my statler and doing custom work all over. Her colors were so intense, they made me think of the ocean, current and seaweed.

Liv and Hannah own at photo shoots! :D
