Work in Progress

Time to check in again with The Needle and Thread Network..

And Work in Progress over at Freshly Pieced..

Here is what I have been up to last week.
We had such a great time when we visited Charlotte NC.  a while back.  I met a friend to explore quilt shops with, and went to a workshop put on by the Charlotte Quilt Guild. They were so friendly and welcoming!! And I came home with some material for a really cute quilt...something to remember my trip!

The fabric is all about the colors I love!   Sort of reminds me of Tuscany! I can just see me with a glass of wine and a good book out on the Tuscan patio!

And I used a quick pattern that they gave to me when I was there. So I have the top done...and on to the quilting..

  3. I love the pattern, it looks fancier than my default quick magic 9-patch. And you certainly don't let your fabric get old!

  6. Isn;t that yellow prairie grass flower fabric terrific! Like Sheila said, simple patterns let the fabric take center stage - it certainly showcases this bundle.

  11. Impressive sewing there, and so quick (it seems). I have a French quilt, but no Italian quilt. I'd better follow in your footsteps and get going!
