It's May already and the spring has flown by!  I have the kid's school auction projects behind me (that was last weekend, phew!) where I sewed trim on burlap runners (very cool looking), and I cranked out a quilt to put up for auction. Fortunately it did well enough and made it worth while. Too bad I forgot to take a photo of it since I was in such a rush. Good thing I finished it by 2am the night before!!

The next big thing is that my husband and I have a contract on our house and we have to move out in July! That means no sewing for a while... and LOTS of packing!  However I'm really itching to get in the studio but that may have to wait.

Have a lovely week and I hope to stop by again soon with PHOTOS as I am more visual than anything!

Ok, so I am extremely excited... I sold 2 quilts in 2 weeks at my show and wanted to share the news.  This just solidifies why I am doing this! Yay!

I'm working on a project for our school auction so I'm on a little hiatus from sewing quilts, but I'll be back soon!
Happy Spring!

Happy April Fools!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

I just hung my first quilt show at a local cafe, BB Bistro this morning. It runs through the month of April, so if you are in the Annapolis area, please stop by!
Here's their link:

Ok, I was going to wait to post some of the new quilts... but I couldn't! So here's a sneak peak at the show:


"Special Gift" 




"Baby Geometric"


So there you go. 
Thanks for stopping by the blog!

Welcome!

Please enjoy the photos of my quilts. I started quilting in 2011, making a more traditional quilt for my first son, Philip. It took me ALL YEAR to make! But it made it under the Christmas tree in time-- nothing like a deadline. Then in 2012, I made 5 quilts (including another one for my second son, Roman)!  Now it's only March, 2013 and I've already made 4 new quilts! I am hooked!

You'll see by the second quilt I found more modern fabric shops online as well as more blogs, and voila! A newer, fresher look.

I'm amazed by all of the wonderful quilting blogs out there, and I'm excited to be joining the blogging gang!
