The beginning of a new baby quilt -  so joyful!

And another - because I have many babies to quilt and knit for this year.

There will be kites, of course.  And pinwheels and polka dots.

Yes, I finally cut into my flea market fancies.  I am looking for a source for this original collection - if anyone has some to sell, or knows where I can find it - PLEASE let me know!!!!

I am learning a hard lesson after all of these years ... if you LOVE it, buy as much as you can afford.  Just do it.  You will not regret this decision - what you WILL regret is a shortage down the road!

Today I was thinking about Christmas.  That's right, Christmas in October.  I was feeling kind of sad because my girl is not here in NYS and probably won't make it in for the holiday.  I did what any quilter worth her salt would do - I pulled out a holiday UFO that needs to be sent south for my daughter by early December.

This tree skirt was started last year, but added to the UFO pile.  It's going to be fun to complete - I started quilting it today with MAGENTA thread!!!!  I'm thinking palm trees and ocean views!  Maybe I should deliver this myself .. it's something to think about!
