Blogger's Quilt Festival

I think I forgot how to blog. It has been THAT long that I have forgotten how to add a button or a code. I'm not sure if this means I should give it up altogether or blog more often to keep my skills somewhat sharp.

Here is my entry for Amy's Quilt Festival, found at;

I named this quilt Nicey Jane Goes to College. This was College Girl's junior year quilt. She asked me to make this one full sized. That was a LOT of fabric to deal with and lots of weight to move around for the stippling done in the center portion. The borders were done with straight lines which then intersected at the corners in a grid pattern.

By the time I got the quilt finished, washed and dried I wanted to get a picture and pack it up and send it off with hubby in the morning. The light was AWFUL for taking pictures by the time hubby got home to hold it up for me. So much yellower in the photo. Soooooooooooooooo, it is what it is.

I'm going to visit College Girl this weekend and see her first apartment! I'll see if I can get better pictures of the quilt 'in action'.

The pattern used was Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Design.

Praise - that I live in a country where we can enjoy the FREEDOM to vote!

Prayers - for my two children that are away at college as well as our other friends who are also away at school. For their protection, health, stamina and most importantly for their witness to those around them.
