The quilt top for my girls is finished at last!!! The pic above shows the quilt top when it was only about halfway complete. (See that tiny sewing machine up there? It sits on a shelf next to my sewing table and makes me giggle because I sometimes feel like that's what I'm sewing on ~ I am so slowww!!!) I used this pattern and if you follow me on Instagram you've seen a lot of it already. It's all half-square triangles and so cool. Pinky promise I'll show it to you when it's quilted and bound.

Two things making me happy. My sweet girl Olivia and the cutest happiest pear. Ever. (Made by Sedef. Thank you dear!!)

The spring 2015 edition of Quilts and More is out… have you seen it? I love Sherri McConnell's Sparkling star quilt on the cover… and I'm so happy to be included in the Scrap Lab section, where three designers were given a layer cake and asked to make something fun.
I made potholders featuring my favorite motif of the moment… chickens! Check 'em out in the mag ~ it's at newsstands now.

And just so you know… I don't often make profound revelatory statements… but I made an exception for this magazine! Lol. (And now my husband is calling me Aristotle.)

By the way, I also believe every mouse, doll, bear, and bunny in the house deserves a doll quilt. Right? This cute little red quilt (it's about 10 1/2" x 10 1/2") was made by Teresa of Marmalade Makings. She sweetly sent this quilt and a package full of goodies for me and my girls. Teresa and I would love to give the quilt away to one of you!
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this post telling me what you'd do with this little cutie. Comments will close Sunday, February 8th at midnight. All may enter and a winner will be chosen randomly. Good luck and cheers!
