Zakka Style Week 10 : Bloom Time Quilt

Quilt no. 2 in the sew along. Next time I do a sew along I hope that I choose a different vacation week. Making 2 quilts and going out to Santa Fe, New Mexico (DRIVING over fourteen hundred miles each way)  made me really manage my time. I admit I worked ahead but I still had quite a bit to do when I returned home. Now it is finally done and I am pleased by the results. This quilt will be a  wedding gift for a very sweet couple.

Life is good and the rest of the sew along should go smoothly.

I am so excited by next weeks project and I have the perfect place to hang it so everyone can get their mail when they walk in the door.

Well Hello Again.

I thought I would share another item from the Wrap along.

This one went to my friend Lori for Christmas, inside are two candy bowls, I made the fabric wrap, it was just a square she can use later as a placemat, dish cloth, napkin etc.

The rose is from the book it was called the Resplendent Rose I chose the variation where there are no ragged edges, on the back I hand sewed a pipe cleaner so it could be wrapped around the fabric and held in place (almost too pretty to open) but the bowls were awesome too :)
