I know I've been quiet for awhile (can't say I didn't warn ya'll)
but I HAVE been busy.
We went with a group from our church on a missions trip to San Luis Potosi, Mexico...amazing, exhausting, humbling...more pics here.
But before we left, I made this...
Yep. It's another Circle Around quilt. But this time, I made it the size of the original pattern (twin) AND I used a full-sized flat sheet for the backing, and a pillowcase (cut on bias) for the binding. The pillowcases came as a set of 2, so the other one will be used as a cover for the quilt when not in use...and a pillowcase when it IS being used ;)
Straight line quilting (which I didn't think I would like) makes this quilt the current favorite in this house.
My daughter seems to think it belongs at college with HER. But it currently sits on the couch (or in my lap).
When we got home from Mexico, I guess the stress and exhaustion (totally worth it) caught up with me and I caught a cold. So no sewing for the 10 days in Mexico and then again for the weekend after...

I can't wait to meet him, but in the meantime, I'm working on this...
Found the pattern in the Moda Bake Shop, of course.
Ok, back to work...oh, who am I kidding?!
