I've been quiet, but busy sewing a couple of fun quilt tops ~ something to keep my mind off the snow and cold. Yes, Carol, it's still cold and we still have a lot of snow...yippy! I combined a couple of quilt design ideas to come up with a way to use this honey bun and charm pack.

Kelly Guy at Charming Chatter had a drawing during her Valentines Sewing Day Party and my name was drawn. Soon as I had the fabric in hand I made this quilt. Thanks Kelly!

I also received my kit from the Downy Quilts for Kids organization last week. I'm itching to quilt up the Valentine Quilt, but this quilt needs to be in the mail next week so it'll come first. The little frogs are CUTE!


My quilt holder has recovered from his latest surgery and is back on the job. :-D
