Here's a little quilt I finished up right before Christmas. The center is hand appliqued and was a lot of fun and very relaxing to work on. This is a kit I bought from a shop in Iowa when I was on my way to vend at the Des Moines Quilt Show. It still needs to be quilted - again - I have no clue when I'll get to that! Anyhow - I switched out both outer borders from what was provided in the kit. I just liked these from my stash better. Now the only thing that's bugging me is those bright white flower centers - so I'm seeing some tea dying action going on there. This design is from a Jo Morton book called Remembrances and the pattern is Second Hand Rose. The more I look at this quilt the more I'm thinking about tea dying the whole quilt! The background on the applique needs to be more muted too I think!
And last but not least for today, I leave you with a picture of my hubster and I. This was taken about 2 weeks ago when we took the kids to the Science and Industry Museum in Chicago as a last hurrah before they went back to school after winter break.........
