Inspiration

"A Work of Heart" store in the Grand Central Mall in Parkersburg, WV  

This piece is actually made of fabric and the letters are embroidered.  It really jumped out at me in the store.  I plan on making a little stuffed bee also and displaying both of these on my fireplace with a grapevine and berry wreath. 

Round & Round Baby Boy Quilts

The large Round & Round Baby Boy Quilt is DONE!  I am so pleased with how it turned out!  The quilting went better and faster than I expected (having NO experience free-motion quilting).  I hope our friends like it and their soon-to-be-here baby boy will get lots of use out of it!

My original blog post about Round & Round Baby Quilts:

My goals this week are to:
1. Finish Up Small Blocks
2. See how much fabric I have left to either make the small block quilt bigger, or make a third quilt.
3. Work on scrapbooking!
