    Did you get a new machine or are you pregnant?

    I'm guessing either new machine, new baby or a lovely vacation trip planned. Do I win a prize if I'm right?

    Okay... Here is why I am excited! I'm doing a quilt restore as many of you know. This quilt was hand made X stitched by my husband's grandmother in the early years of her marriage. Well, when she passed it was in her belongings and Dh's cousins wife picked it. It was in bad shape, stains from storage, thread bare, tears, holes and rips.... Just worn out.

    She tried to clean it, she took it all over the state to find a quilter who might help her repair or restore it. No one would. So, she cut it into pieces thinking she could make it into something for her nieces to have. Then... she got discouraged and called me. She brought it out. She also washed it after cutting.

    So, we brainstormed and I told her what I thought I would do with it. And what I could do, and would not do. We went shopping and bought fabrics I would use... and I brought it home. I've very proud of this stage in the quilt. It will be 3 throws or wallhangings, not made for heavy use. The bulk of the quilt is still very fragile and even ripped just to work with it. I've had to patch some.

    BUT... BUT... after tons of fussy cutting, basting, fusible web, applique and some strip pieces added, I am proud to say I have the centers of my blocks ready to go. I have a tiny rose bud on cream, and a tiny green dot fabric I will use to build these blocks, and snow ball the big rose block. Then, I still have four really large Rose Bouquets that must be trimmed, basted and appliqued, and I still have the center of the quilt to fussy cut and try to use, it's not in good shape at all, but I'm EXCITED about this phase.

    Long way from done... but on my way!

    I've been waiting to read what you were so excited about and I must say it was well worth it. What an exciting job for you! The blocks are gorgeous so far and I am excited to see what you do with these quilts!
