A finished quilt❣ Those words are always music to my ears, as it means after many long months, and in some cases, years, all the imagining, planning, designing and stitching of a quilt is there for all to see in it's finished glory. Aah....yes, there is nothing quite like a finished quilt to put a smile in one's day. The following are all the pretty quilt finishes.

Decided to go down the rabbit hole of blogs I had not visited. I came across yours and was delighted to see your quilts. Love the colors and the various techniques used. Thanks for sharing. Wishing for snow in sunny South Carolina USA.
ReplyDeleteOh, 'tis dangerous to go down the rabbit hole of blogs, isn't it?? One seems to be down there for an impossible amount of time being lost in the gorgeousness of others' creativity. Thank you for your sweet visit and beautiful words. Wish I knew your name, though. I hope the snow finds you. I am a summer-loving girl myself. =) Kim Xx
