The Blue and The Gray - New Quilt Book
This book that I received last week has me drooling! The Blue and the Gray: Quilt Patterns using Civil War Fabrics by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene who are the owners of Country Threads Quilt Shop in Garner, Iowa.
This book is jam packed with great scrappy projects. Each of them makes me want to dive right into my scrap bin and start - - - yet another project! LOL
Anyhow - here are photos from the book that might just have you running to your local quilt shop to get your own copy!

Hands All Around Quilt Guild Show 2013
This past Sunday I had the privilege of going to one of my favorite guild quilt shows. I enjoy this show so much because of not only the talent, but the amount of hand piecing, hand applique and hand quilting that this wonderful group does.
Here is a link where you can go and view all the quilts I took pictures of - these are located in my Google Account and I welcome you to join my "circle" there so that you can see the other wonderful photos in my album.
You can also view the quilts in my Flickr account if you prefer, here is that link:
Here's a couple of my favorites:

A Quilt My Daughter Made
My daughter decided last week to make a quilt for her teachers wife that is due to have a baby any day now. She drew out her own pattern and selected fabrics from my stash! (shown above)
And here is the finished quilt! It's about 36" square and I think she did a wonderful job!
She wrapped it all up and was so proud of herself. It is being delivered today! Ashley is 14 years old and has taking a basic sewing/quilting class about 2 years ago. Her skills get better and better!
