So here are the quilts I am currently working on...
The first one is of Becca Cluff and I call it Spinning CareBears! it is a spinning balloon pattern I found and decided to use up most of her Carebear prints to match the skirt and the bumper pad I sewed for her. Jonathan is still not home from the hospital and I am not even able to comprehend how much she is dealing with.
This one has a butterfly print that I loved and so I found the purple and the gold that matched the some of the color in the print and went to town. I cut this out before going to a quilting retreat and sewed it together in my first day. I love quilting and can find that hours go by and I am just as happy as I would be if I were reading a book. (and it's way better than doing homework!)
This is the one I am actually working on for myself. I decided I wanted pink and brown in my room and started looking for bedding. Of course nothing spoke to me so I went to Hancock Fabric and behold I fell in love with the rose print. I then found some brown and the lighter pink and decided I had myself a quilt in the making. I then went shopping with the ladies at the quilt retreat to a store in Nevada, IA (where I used to reside) and they do something amazing with fabric. . . they screen print words on it! I saw the Faith, Hope and Love set printed in brown on pink and immediately had to have it... so much for not spending any money!
I am also working on a red white and blue that is the same pattern as the purple one above but with a bigger variety of prints.
