Oh, The Places You'll Go

 This is the "Book Review" pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Co.  It was a fun one to do as I used a layer cake (10" square pack) called Torrington Place by Michelle Yeo for Penny Rose Fabrics.  The border is  Kassita Medallions from 3 Wishes.  The quilt finishes at 73" x 79" and is backed with Minky from Shannon Fabrics.

I remember once being told that in books you can gain knowledge, appreciation for others, travel to worlds seen and unseen, and grow and learn.  When I thought about making this quilt I had a person in mind who has made a positive impact on me & she also loves to read.  She is one of the smartest & most caring women I have had the honor to meet.  She probably doesn't even know what a true light in this world she is.  I only hope this small offering will let her know that what she does and who she is means something to someone.

I hope we all take a moment to thank someone in our lives who has taken time, shared their knowledge, and even for a small moment in time given us encouragement to move forward even when we may not  understand all of the policies & procedures we would need to learn for the job.

Finished at 73" x 79"

For T With Love A

 When hubby came to The Stitching Room last week he found the Grand Circle panel from Riley Blake and asked if I would make him a quilt.  He has never asked me to make him a quilt before.  Yes, he has asked me to make them for other people but not for himself.  He then asked if I could fit him in within the next 6 months!  Well I think 2 weeks from design to construction to quilting to binding is a pretty good time frame.  The quilt turned out to be approximately 70" x 78".  Just the right size for him to wrap himself up like a burrito in his recliner during the cold days ahead.

I machine quilted this one with an edge to edge pantograph called "Curlz" from Linda's Electric Quilters.

I really do enjoy designing quilts.  I may not be able to draw worth a hoot but give me graph paper and I just might surprise you (and myself).

Enjoy this one my love.

***I do take orders for quilts and one similar to this would run about $550.***

I really like the flying geese borders that I designed.

I was lucky enough to find just the right fabrics for hubby.

Of course the label had to be my heart.  Love you T.
