This week I finished two quilts! The is the Checkerboard Flowers BOM. This quilt is going to be entered in the My Quilted Garden exhibit at the 2012 International Quilt Festival of Ireland. I've never entered a show before, and so I'm pretty excited about this. And since I'm attending the show, it will be all the more exciting to see my very own quilt on display.
This quilt still needs a hanging sleeve and I'll need to embroider my name and info on the back. After that, it'll be ready to ship off to Ireland!
Also, I finished the quilting on the Pretty Little Ponies doll quilt for Miss Kylee. This quilt still needs a binding. I hope to have that finished in the next couple of days.
This week I'm going to make the next set of blocks for the Just Takes 2 quilt along, and I hope to get started on quilting the Castles in the Air doll quilt for Camlyn. Also, I'd like to start on my next doll quilt . . . this one for a little girl named Irish.
Also, I am starting a new monthly swap.
