Ladybug Quilt

I started this quilt a few years ago and finally got it done and to the quilter's. It is for my niece. I had made a similar quilt for my daughter, Kim, for her baby, and when my niece saw it she wanted one, also, for her little girl (who was a baby at the time!). I know she will still love and appreciate it, even though that baby is nearly 3 years old. This is actually the first quilt that I have had someone else quilt. I am going to bind it in black.

Quilt Group at Ann Marie's

The entire group met on April 21st at Ann Marie's home. Many of us had not seen their new addition, so we got the tour. It is beautiful, just beautiful. I personally could take your new kitchen and put it right in my home and be happy. A lot of us had things to share that evening. Here is Jane's Christmas tree skirt...


Here is the quilt that Ann Marie is making for Stephen when he returns from his church mission in Florida...
