Freshly washed and dried.  I am so excited to be finished with it!


Quick Posting.....

Just 2 more plates to hand quilt, then its off the the laundry mat (quilt is too big for my machine) and its all done!! Only took me about 11 months?? I never said I was a quick quilter......

Never thought I would see the day......

.....when all the machine quilting was done on my Dresden Plate quilt!  Oh my, does my machine need a good cleaning and rest.
I did a lot of quilting on this one and I love the feel and look of it.  All that is left are 4 plates to hand quilt, then making and attaching the binding.
Will post pics of the finished product very soon.

Finally finished my first block for the class......


It is a 12 inch block,  however our instructor said we would be making some 15 inch ones.  So I used up the scraps and got it (almost) to 15 inches.  Adding anything different, embellishing or changing it up a bit makes you eligible for a door prize at each class.  So heres hoping........
I really like the way it came out!
