Summer quilt

So today is the day Merry Maids comes to clean. I am worn out from preparing for them and so is my family...hehehe!!! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

I thought I'd show you pictures of the summer quilt that is on my bed right now. This is the first "shop hop" quilt that I made and it's my favorite sh(3) quilt that I've done. The fabric line is "Old Paris FleaMarket" by Three Sisters by Moda.
The quilting on it is absolutely beautiful. My friend, Linda, quilts almost all of my quilts and she is so talented. She didn't start out as a longarm quilter, she started out piecing and hand quilting and I think you can really see that in the quilts that she does. Sometimes the professional longarmers get so carried away with the quilting that it spoils the quilt pattern, in my opinion.

Well I'm off to work...I'm really hoping to put some quality sewing time in this weekend along with going to my Mom's to pack some more. She moves next weekend...WOW!!
