I'm Tickled...

Jodi over at Pleasant Home does a weeekly feature of items she has found on the world wide web. Usually she chooses a color or scheme and the pictures correspond to the theme. This week her theme/scheme is 7-Up in which she used green and yellow and she featured my green and yellow retro quilt. I made the quilt about a year ago using Joel Dewberry's Deer Valley in the Tarragon colorstory and a pattern which made good use of the large graphic prints in this line. Most people aren't too crazy about the quilt, but I love it.

Roman Holiday Finished!

I finished this yesterday and just in time too!

Earlier this summer, I was approached by a dear friend who was looking for donations for a silent auction for a UPRA rodeo. Of course, I said sure I could donate a quilt. I knew I had this kit stored away in my disaster area (see pictures from this post). I found the kit and began cutting! What a nightmare! It took me almost 1 full day to cut out those blocks. Each piece was cut on the bias. I know I ripped every row apart at least one time. I'd think I had the seams lined up and once I got the row sewn and opened up to press, the seams were off and not just a little bit either! I'm glad I have it done and I will deliver it later today.
