...and quilted eight more that some other good folks have taken to bind and finish....
I'll tell more about these quilts in the next quilt ministry update, but these quilts will bring our total this year to 100 so far! Whoop whoop!!
AND - - - I've hit 700 followers!!!!

ReplyDeleteCameo, did you see all that turquoise? They have it in Voile too! More turquoise in La Dee Da, and Pretty little things too! I could go bankrupt on that site, for sure!
I love to go to Italy! Venice and the coast nearby is great. But since I had been in Tuscany - maybe my favorite spot in Italy is there:-) Erika/ehellmich@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHard to decide which fabric is No 1 - but feeling the pistol on my breast: La Dee Da in aqua or coral ...:-)Erika/ehellmich@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday spot is the Vendee in France, because it has gorgeous sandy beaches that are also full of waves that are brilliantly jumpable which was a favourite holiday hobby of mine growing up, we'd go back there every 3 or 4 years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all your followers!
I am a follower!

ReplyDeleteI'm Linky #8. I finished the first week of the Tetris QA. All my blocks are cut for the whole quilt. It's not alot, or a huge finish, but with summer vacation and school not in session sewing time is very very limited. There's still time to join the Tetris QA with Melissa at Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteGratz on 700 followers! Since I live close to the beach, I have to pick the mountains as my favorite Vacation spot. Love finding water falls while hiking.
ReplyDeleteI am a happy follower. :)
