Happy New Year!!

Do you have a most spectacular quilt from 2013?  Mine is a quilt top I bought on Ebay, from Kingman, KS. I think I paid $25 for it and find it to be one of the most beautiful tops I've finished this year.  I was drawn to it because of the simplicity.  The white space brought on so many dreams that I found it even difficult to begin.


I took my time working through each pass.  I have about 30 hours in the whole process.


At some point my granddaughter, Juniper, was over and I was on a roll and had to continue quilting.  So far I had been able to strap her in a carrier and stitch.


I found out quickly how long her arms were when she reached out and grabbed a handle!  That is a true LONGARM!!!!  So I decided it would become her quilt and I stitched "Junie was here" in the quilt along with the date.  A nice reminder of a moment that only I will be able to see.


The finished quilt is a one of a kind for sure and I LOVE it!  Glad Junie was involved!
