I've a few things to share with you. Oh, don't get too excited...just more quilts and stuff. ~grin~
This first one, you should remember well...it is my all-time favorite fabric collection...Kashmir III. Especially cool to me cuz of the song, "Kashmir", by Led Zeppelin. Just one of those things.
So. I am slowly getting my quilts quilted...thanks, in large part, to my dear friend, Brenis. You know, we have been friends for many years, but never met each other until I moved here to Colorado. So happy that we are only a few hours apart!!! But, I digress...
This quilt top was completed in June of 2012. The pattern is from my friend, Erin, over at Why Not Sew? blog. Brenis quilted it for me this fall and I finally got it bound and laundered. I love it so much!! It measures ~57 x 73.
And, the back...what can I say!!! So in love with it...
I also got the Lotta Jansdotter patchwork quilt back from Brenis...the fabric collections used are Bella and Echo. This quilt top was finished in February of 2013. Such a fun quilt...and the quilting is even more fun!!! This one measures about 55" square. (It has been spoken for by DIL Rachel.)
Isn't that quilting just too fun? LOVE it!!! Thanks, Bren!
With the last box of fabric, my friend, Cathy, sent me a few unfinished quilts. I had fun putting this one together. Now I just need batting and backing and it will be ready to quilt. This one will be going to a charity.
I started this sampler...need something to keep my hands busy with while watching television. I am having fun working on it. I am in no hurry and have no particular color plan. It's by Rebecca Ringquist...dropcloth sampler. Sometimes, it is very nice to have no plan and be in no hurry.
I have a few other projects going on, but they are sorta kinda secret projects.
Hope your week goes well for you!

Wow, they are all gorgeous. I'm really seriously thinking of maybe teaching myself to make a quilt this winter. I've wanted to for years, just scared
You have made some beautiful quilts and I do love the deep, rich colors of Kashmir.
