Just Peachy!


Thanks to Kim at Peach Quilting for adding me to the Quilting For Pleasure blog ring. I'm among some great quilters here and also some of my long-time online pals like Desertsky and Nancy, NP.

On the quilting front, I just finished a panel quilt for my daughter Kate's good friend Christina, who recently home-birthed her third child, a 10 1/2 pound boy. (ouch) I made quilts for her two older children, but since Kate made me a quilt last year I thought she might want to do this one herself, so I bought her a "Good Ship Noah" panel by J. Wecker-Frisch and the go-withs. As time went by, Kate got pregnant herself and was not feeling too swift (still isn't at 16 weeks!). I took the materials and made the quilt, finishing just in time to leave it with her on my recent visit.

It was fun, and I got to practice my free-motion quilting skills, which definitely need some practice!!
