Thread
Well it's time to write another blog post and this week I don't have that much to say. I am working on two projects, one which I just finished however I can't show either of them as yet. I can tell you about one of them on Monday, after the quilt has been presented....

A Walk in the Park

Meandering Magic
I just finished quilting a quilt for a customer. It was a fun quilt to do. I believe the quilt is to be a wedding present and the couple requested red and green. My customer used a variation of the yellow brink road pattern and I think the quilt turned out to be...
