A happy girl!

Toile3_2 I got my DD's Michael Miller Kids' Toile quilt back from the quilter on Thursday, and gave it to her when I got home from work at the quilt shop that evening.  The quilt gets dragged everywhere in the house with her.  I'm glad she loves it so much!  The quilter used a fun Circle Lord template called Square Dance, although it's hard to see from my photo.  It's concentric off-beat squares and an alternating star.  I thought it might be too geometric with the quilt pattern, but it looks really great and DD gives it 2 thumbs up, and that's what matters!



Only 2 more sleeps until I leave for my quilt retreat!!!!

  5. Isn't it the best when they love what we make? And it shows she has excellent taste -- that quilt is darling! It's been awhile since I was able to get to blog reading so I've got tons to catch up on -- love, love, love your zuzu's petals quilt and the all spice tapestry finish. I can't wait to see what you do with blackberries and cream!!! Have a great time at your retreat!
