Wow, we are back and hit the ground running! We are definitely going to homeschool this year, so i am busy getting ready :) I am looking forward to it, but a little nervous too!
I finished a project for OPAM, just not the one I thought I would... here is a photo of a "brown bag" quilt that was put together by my quilt group when I lived near Denver ( ummm... 11 years ago...) but now it is DONE! It turned out seriously pretty and is all hand quilted- hence the time it took for me to complete it! I put in the fall colored star block and I love that someone added the turquoise to the mix :) I am so pleased that it is finished...

Beautiful!
Hi, thanks for coming to my blog and leaving a comment. It is always so nice to come to a new blog. Glad you finished that quilt, I like it.
This is gorgeous! I am starting my first quilt for my niece, but I'm sure it won't be as pretty as this... gotta practice some more! ;)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and entering my first giveaway! Have a great day! :)
Hey that is awesome. Both the quilt and the homeschooling prospect. Yeahhhh.
That is really nice! Good luck with the home schooling!!!
The quilt is lovely, I'm impressed with finishing it! I have lots of 1/2 or almost finished projects that never seem to get completed.
I love the quilt! It looks awesome! I couldn't do that even if I had 11 years!
A finished project even after 11yrs is always a reason to celebrate. Tap yourself on the back and say "Go me!"
It's beautiful! I never did any quilting but maybe someday. I could at least stuff in the cotton. Not much of a sewer here. Love the fall colors!
Following you on twitter.
Enjoy your SITS day!
Wow. Quilters impress me. The work just seems so intricate, so well planned. Quilting is truly an impressive skill, in my book. I really want to try quilting, now, with my first child's baby clothes, but I haven't attempted it yet. Thanks for inspiring me this morning and happy SITS day to you again!
This quilt is so pretty! I agree about the turquoise...it gives it a little sass. Love it!
Good job! You're so talented!
Happy SITS day to you!
That is a gorgeous quilt! I wish I had the time and talent to do that!
I am always so impressed with women who quilt. It is such a beautiful art. This is lovely. These beautiful quilts will be passed down for generations. So special...
oooooh I just love quilts (you should see my collection) but must admit I've never actually finished one! I bow before you!
ps, being in central florida - have you been to Queen Anne's Lace in Kissimmee?
Happy SITS day!

I am a fellow quilter too. This one is beautiful. And hand quilted too! I'm impressed. I have a Nolting quilting machine I use for that part. Congrats on your SITS day.
Beautiful! I love the colors and the hearts.
I am so not a quilter, but yours is lovely! Happy SITS.
You're very talented!
very pretty quilt :)
this is so pretty!
That's so pretty! Each of my daughters has a quilt made my one of my husband's aunts. I've always admired the art of quilting.
That is so beautiful!! I wish that I knew how to sew and quilt!! I would love to make a blanket for each of my children...I have one from each of my great grandmother's and I cherish them!!
Happy SITS DAY!!
Very nice! I love the middle panel!
Beautiful quilt. You should check out crafthope.com. I bet it would be right up your alley!
Happy SITS Day!
That is beautfiul.. I am just getting started soo I am still on the block patterns lol.. I found some old quilts my mom and memaw made years ago and fell in love with their simplicity and the love that they put in them... and now I want to get going I have th fabrics lol now just teh ability to do it..
good grief my chat dyslexia is bad today grrr..
beautiful quilt. I'm doing one too, although it's not finished yet. I'm alittle slow when it comes to quilting. CONGRATS on the SITS debut thought!
What a beautiful quilt! I have made several, but have yet to follow any sort of pattern. Kiddo and I have designed one together, and I will be following that design, so that will be a new one for me!
Will you be using the quilt, or will it be a wall hanging or something?
What is a "brown bag" quilt?
Beautiful quilt. I love the colors and the heart border.
This quilt is awesome, I also love the turquoise!
Beautiful quilt! Always wonderful to hear homeschool success stories! I admire parents who have the energy, creativity and dedication.
You are quite crafty! I can appreciate the work it takes to make a nice quilt. I tried quilting a Christmas tree skirt once. I still use it, but probably won't do that again.
Wow! That is really good. I wish I was more crafty. I have my great grandmothers quilt that she made and I love it.
What an incredible quilt! I wish I had talent like this, but alas, I don't seem to. I can sing and bake and write but I wish I could make things like quilts and jewelry and other fun crafty items.
stopping by from sits...i made my first quilt for my friend's first child. It was hard work, but the best way I could express how much I cherish my friend...and how excited I was for her and her husband.
I need to grab a cuppa and sit back a while to browse through the rest of your blog.
Congrats on your SITS day!
Happy SITS day! This quilt is lovely.
That's a beautiful quilt. I admire your fortitude for sticking with such a time-consuming (and lovely) project.
Visiting from SITS!
Love the quilt. It is so beautiful. I really admire women who have the patience and creativity to create such beauty.
Wow! I wish I could quilt like this. Happy SITS Day! Having fun exploring your site.

So beautiful. How do you find the time???
Yea, a finished project! The turquoise is pretty. I find hand quilting (or sewing) relaxing... Nice job.
That quilt is beautiful!
Happy SITS day :)
Wow - that's just beautiful. I'm sure there was a lot of love that went into making it from you and all those involved. Enjoy your day in the SITS spotlight.

Wow, gorgeous! I can't do but I sure can appreciate....
Very nice!
So pretty!! I wish I could make blankets like that!!
Wow! I think quilts are just wonderful. The amount of time and effort that go into them speaks volumes of the love that quilter has for the person they're giving it to!

Wow I have always wanted to do a quilt. It is on my lifelong to-do list. Very pretty.

Wow we have a lot in common: I quilt & scrap, my hubby spent 20 years in the Navy, I live in CO, and I love the Lord! Great to visit your blog from SITS!
So gorgeous! I love it!
It's absolutely beautiful. My favorite part is all the hearts - almost like fall leaves - such a pretty addition to this lovely quilt.
Wow, I love the quilt. My daughter and I signed up for a beginning quilting class. I can't wait to hear from them about when it will start!
Hope you have had a great SITS day!
Beautiful! I'm been quilting since I lived near Denver....many years ago.
