We are going to Minneapolis this weekend and I'm super excited. If all goes as planned, I'll get to meet this fabulous lady and go to IKEA and Antropologie and have loads of fun. I've made a little gift for the little guy hibernating in Kristin's tummy. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something done for his big brother before we leave tomorrow.
I also worked on a bit of a commission for an octopus for Leezy's daughter Libby's fantastic room! I think he should fit in nicely!
And last, but certainly not least, I finished up the first quilt for Nancy. I sure hope she likes it! It's laying a bit wonky, because I just pulled it out of the dryer. I'm still trying to decide if I want to add a few little leaves with the dotty fabric. Hmmm...
The front is made from cotton, corduroy and linen and the back is cotton and flannel. I love all the texture and the negative space. As soon as I get home from work and if Brian remembers to bring his machine home, I'll scan that embroidery design and post it so you all can use it!
that quilt really is nice.
as are the other things but the quilt is REALLY nice

I love this quilt! I really like how you mixed up the quilting style on each block. Did you hand or machine quilt? So beautiful!
