Let the quilting begin.......


February BOM (Capricorn Quilts)



Two projects completed, I'm so excited! I love doing the hand stitching on the Block of the Month project. I've seen some gorgeous patterns out there that I am looking forward to starting soon.
Like the ones Natalie has at Cinderberry Stitches. She even has a list of places you can order those gorgeous patterns listed on her sidebar! Yikes, and I have a birthday coming up!! Yahoo!
Auntie's Quaint Quilts also has patterns she has posted from her recent trip at a quilting convention.
This is the quilt I've been working on for my daughter. We actually worked together on pinning the backing and batting together so it's ready to be quilted. I will be stippling and for some reason this makes me a little nervous. In my experience stippling is fun on a little project but a bit overwhelming on bigger quilts. I get tense and my back hurts! LOL! I'm thinking of random swirls, any suggestions??
It's snowy and cold here today, low twenties with high winds. Burrrrrrr!!
