quilt talk : 300th post : GIVEAWAY!

first lets talk quilts. i love them! they have become my obsession. they are personal and made with love. they keep the ones i love warm. they give security and comfort. they will last forever creating so many memories. they bring me a different feeling of accomplishment than a skirt or tote bag. when i pull it out of the dryer and see the final outcome there is nothing like it. so puckered, soft and just lovely. i made these quilts for my girls for Christmas....

callies,

this one is made from a kelly mccaleb quilt kit. i love the colors and the vintage fabrics in this one.

and addies,

another chinese coin quilt.

now dont judge me, i know this one is not perfect. it has an uneven

side and the binding is far from perfect, the mitered corners are even farther. but i do love it. i think flaws in quilts give them uniqueness and character. you can tell it was handmade, it isnt perfect and manufactured.

such a loverly site.

now that i am done with those, i think i am ready to start another!

i have been putting up scraps on my inspiration board for awhile. one here, one there. i am still trying to decide if i like the navy blue and deep yellow. i am thinking it could be a picnic quilt(since our picnic and park season is coming closer) or just a light throw. cant wait to get started on another one!

so lets end this with a giveaway!!!

it is my

300th post!

and i am in the mood to giveaway something cute for your little

back-to-schooler!

the winner will receive three headbands.

so cute for you little darling.

just leave me a comment. tell me what you are looking forward too with this upcoming fall season.

i know some of you dont have girls, but i am sure you know a little girl. a relative, a neighbor, a friends child.

i will pick the winner saturday night. lets say 8ish MST.

have a wonderful friday!
