Friday was Day One for my "Williamsburg Welcome" quilt project.I managed to complete the center star motif and add a top and
bottom "Welcome" motif. I also did a little design wall work to
decide how I want the rest of the fabrics I'm using to relate to
the overall look. I'm really happy with my fabric placements
so I'll be back at the sewing machine later today.
This is going much faster than I expected, so I think it will
only take a few days to complete my share of the construction.
Don't be too impressed...it's not a huge quilt.
When finished, it will measure about 48" x 70".
I got a package in the mail yesterday, too.Anne Sutton at Bunny Hill Designs had a drawing for her
newest fabric line
"Lily & Will".
I entered Anne's fabulous drawing and WON!
I'm over the moon about this collection, which isn't available
to the public until October. Anne is the designer and shared
three fat quarter and squares collections to her winners.
I chose the pink collection. It is a gorgeous series.
If you sew, I know you'll want to get these fabrics for yourself.
Thank you, Anne. I'm loving every piece and can't wait to
make something wonderful with my new fabrics.
A project progressing better than planned
and
a gift in the mail.
Made my day, I'm telling you!
Just made my day!
I'm liking the look of your Williamsburg Welcome quilt Donna. Can't wait to see the completed project. I also love the charm squares you won. Very pretty.
