I thought it was time to write another blog. I have been busy with clients and family. Husband and I took a holiday for the first time. I caught up with my reading and sleep. Enjoyed lying on the beach and swimming in the ocean.
This is the view from our room.
Before I left for our holidays. I mounted a quilt into my longarm machine finished quilting it this week I used template ruler from top anchor to make the stars. Then I just doodled feathers pebble and swirls.
This is the quilt half finished in the machine

This passed week my guild raffle quilt was brought back to me for washing and blocking
I am very proud of this quilt. Almost two years ago I was asked to design a quilt for the May 2014 show to be raffled off. This is the end result of our two years of work. I must thank all the ladies that helped me to complete it I would not have been able to get it finished with out your help. I would also like to thank the ladies that did a great job in hand quilting it.
This quilt is all hand pieced, hand appliqué, and hand quilted. We used 100% cotton fabric, and we used 100% wool batting.

The quilt got picked up to be sent off to the photographer to be photographed.
I will be getting my raffle tickets to sale next week. I will definitely be buying tickets for myself and I hope to sell a lot too.
You can make a bed scarf out of the applique part of this quilt. You can find the pattern in my etsy shop
