This last week since coming home from a short but awesome vacation has been very very busy. First we had to clear out the studio so hubby could replace the flooring. My new cork floor is great and will make it so much easier to clean.
Wow - I honestly didn't think that I was a scrap horder??? Now I knew I loved my scraps but definitely had my eyes opened this past week. I know a number of my friends reading this will say - "why didn't you ask us"? I had bags of scraps tucked in every nook and cranny in the studio so it didn't look all that much until I had to pull it all out. Oh well - I guess I'll just have to get my butt in gear and get some more piecing done - tough job but somone has to do it. Also anyone looking for scraps - contact me!
The photos below are of a medium size quilt made for someone special. It was turned over to Victoria Quilts Thursday and will be given to a youth when going into hospital for cancer treatment - hopefully making his stay a bit more tolerable.

I didn't use any particular pattern - just did a square n' square block and then placed them on point. I love using stripes in my quilts as well as the "on point" placement and this one was no exception. The quilting was just an allover freehand swirl using 100% cotton thread (Tutti) by Wonderfil.
