Here is a picture of my very first Jo's Little Women quilt. There aren't any clubs that meet close to me, that I know of, so I joined one online. When the first shipment came I was so disappointed that the quilt was a little bigger than her usual little quilts and that the center is applique. Well I'm not disappointed now. I enjoyed every second of making this quilt and applique is my new love so it worked out perfectly!
Since I was taking a picture of the above quilt on my design wall. I took a picture of my selvage quilt blocks. This is an ongoing project and the pattern is out of Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home magazine. I plan to make several of these quilts because I think they are fun and they bring back memories of certain fabrics. Plus it's a way to use ALL of your fabric.
Last night was the monthly Dear Jane meeting at the Quilting Post downtown. It's so nice to have a quilt shop in Stillwater after years and years of not having one. I think that business is good as well. We had a good time and I'm enjoying getting to know all of the ladies that come to the group.
Time to go and dry my hair and get ready for work. TGIF .....

I love the quilt, especially the applique part!
I joined this club from an online store also. I have really enjoyed making this quilt. I think it's going to be one of my all-time favorites.
i'm terrified of applique ... but i think that i need to face my fears and try ... your quilts are so lovely!
Great quilt and that selvage quilt is probably a lot of fun to put together with so many different selvages.
I love your JLW Club Holiday Inn! You did a wonderful job with the applique!
Have a good day!
