I'm back!!!

As you can see it has been an entire school year since I last posted. I had every intention of writing but this year was intense and the blog got put on the back burner. Not what I wanted but I only have three days left with students so I can breathe a little better now.

For my coming back post I am joining the Bloggers' Quilt Festival. This is my first year to participate.
So without further ado, here she is:

I made this following a Quilt Along organized by John of Quilt Dad. Each week we made two blocks, each designed by a different blogger. I loved this quilt along. I started it after I had only been quilting for a few months. I learned so many new techniques and really grew in my skills. I also loved doing it along with an online community, encouraging and helping me along the way.

I had the top completed last summer but it spent the next year folded in my quilt room until I finally had time to quilt it last month. As I looked back over the pictures I had taken, I calculated it took me a year and a half to finally get it finished.

Here is my second attempt at FMQ!! I learned alot working on this baby and I love her so much. After a good washing she is so soft and cuddly. She is now resting in my guest room and waiting patiently for guests.

I so wish I could be at Quilt Market (maybe one day...) but glad to have the chance to be a part of the Bloggers' Quilt Fest. Thank you so much for stopping by. Now that summer is here I will be updating you on all the crafting I have done this year....so many projects to show you. Don't forget to come back.
