Fabric

I had a computer crisis at work today. So, in an effort to keep my sanity I left work to go to JoAnn's to find some fabric for the snowflake quilt I'm planning. I found two fabrics with blue background and snowflakes. Then I also found some white silver speckled fabric. I really wasn't planning on going for the glitter, but it really is eye catching. Also, I didn't think I was going to get fabric that already had snowflakes on it, but the pieces to the pattern are so small, that I think it will work well.

I have a couple of quilts that I need to bind before I even start on the snowflake quilt. Here are a couple of the quilts that I have worked on this year.

The neutral and bright lap quilts are sample quilts that I made from classes I used to go to when I was living in Orem.
The baby rag quilt above is for Andy and Rynell's little girl they are expecting (hopefully in less than a week). Rynell gave me the pink and floral flannel fabric that she used for making burp clothes. Then I found the purple and green and came up with the design. I had to really concentrate on getting the squared in the right place so everything would like up properly. I was impressed that I got it right.

Hopefully by the end of this month, or beginning on this month I'll be able to post my Celtic knot quilt.

I think there are bugs all over. The elections have introduced many of them in 'inocent' adds. I'm glad you were able to find some nice fabrics. The quilts look very pretty. Looking forward to the OR/WA trip !!!

Those quilts are beautiful. I still have the quilt I made for my YW project - I made it from the pieces of fabric that were left over from all of my baby/childhood clothes that my mother made for me.
