Mystery Quilt for 2012

See that button on the sidebar, girls??  [Just Takes 2]  Well, if you click on it, you'll go to a website that tells you about a mystery quilt block-of-the-month that is being put on by two quilting blogs, Sentimental Stiches (which happens to be in Grand Rapids) and Dear Jane.  I've added both of their blogs to our reading list, too.

You buy your own fabric - just 2 colors - and then every month you get 2 patterns for a section of the mystery quilt - one from each blog.  Since I'm finishing up my quilt like Mom's this weekend (got the rows done, now I just need to put them together), and Paducah just sent out that 15% off coupon, I decided it was the perfect time to start something new. 

So . . . I'm going with brown and aqua (found some clearance fabrics on Paducah's website, and just ordered it) . . . anybody want to join me???

Mom's Quilt - Christmas 2011

It was my turn to put some time in on Mom's quilt, so after getting it from Dee I spent the week before Christmas putting the binding on.

With a little help from Nick!

It didn't take too long, and I had it all wrapped up in plenty of time for Christmas Eve!

I had to get it away from Nicolas, though!

Mom couldn't believe we made another quilt -- and she even helped pick out some of the fabric for it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Mom!
