Big Reveal

Happy Belated Birthday/Graduation!

Lizzie (my younger daughter) made this quilt for her sister.

She just finished binding it.

It's done.

Bella picked out the fabrics, but hasn't seen the completed quilt

(she's back east this summer).

It's got quite a few of the Tufted Tweets,

Nicey Jane & a few others.

So Bella, what do you think?!!

Is it college worthy?

We lovingly call it the lava lamp quilt.
Lizzie used the Accuquilt 6.5" Tumbler die.


These tumbler quilts go together so fast and the pieces are cut perfectly.


It makes the whole process go a lot smoother.


This is also her 4-H Quilting project.

Her 4-H paperwork is done!

Report & everything! Hurray!

This is a duvet cover I whipped up.

May I just say, it has a button closures, and ties on the inside to hold the comforter in place. It's a home dec -- Tea Garden. I liked working with it so much, I got a little carried away, but I'll save that for later.
