My thought was that I’d sew like a mad-woman at the craft retreat but really it was fun to be relaxed and chatting. 🙂 So I had to hustle this week to finish K’s quilt for my entry into the LaPetité group for February.
We used the Sweet Spot pattern and K & I chose these fabrics while on the phone and online together.
Several at the retreat must have thought I was CRAZY as these fabrics really are pretty bright in person. 🙂 But I’m oh-so-pleased with this quilt!!
It is about 30″ square and will soon be quilted…. on my NEW long-arm!! Yahoo!!!
This is even BETTER in real life. I had it taped to our antique wardrobe/entertainment center for a few hours and just paused to see it from different angles & distances. This will ROCK her apartment!! 🙂 Meanwhile, last night K was without gas so no heat, no stove, and no hot water. I’m hoping this a.m. brings better news.
11 a.m. No heat. No hot water. No stove. 😦
Friday 8 p.m. – HEAT!! Yeah!! I had just called out the prayer warriors 2 hrs earlier. K & I agreed, I should have done that sooner!! She was out over 26 hrs but she wasn’t home until late on Thursday so isn’t sure when it really was gone.
and sew on... 
Ugh on the no heat/stove/hot water :brrrr: But WOW on that quilt – it is gorgeous 🙂

I absolutely LOVE the above quilt!! It is just beautiful! How many quilts do you work on? Seems you are always working on one or another. 🙂
I have been working on my first “main” quilt for 4 years!! It is almost complete. However….you would crack up if you saw it!! None of my squares match up!!
My dream some day, it to take classes for quilting because i really enjoy doing them.

No, no one thought you were crazy. I love the fabrics…so bright and HAPPY!!! I do hope we get to see it, finished and in K’s home! I’m sorry to hear about her no heat. What a bummer! Hopefully, since her mama quilts, she kept warm anyway. Have a great weekend, my friend! I’m off to the dentist to have some drilling done….unfortunately, there won’t be any ‘oil’ discovered. Drats!

I love the fabric! WOW!
Oh my gosh it’s so pretty!!! Bright, yes, but so lovely!! Will definitely rock her apartment!
I do hope her gas (and thus heat, stove, etc) is on soon!!! Yikes!
I adore this!!! How wonderful!
[…] of buying a “candy bar” set that I didn’t need, I used leftover fabrics from the February project. Whew! I *just* had enough!! I had to buy some fabric for a border and considered not adding […]
