Update on the Antique Quilt!

Well I've got two sides completed on the Antique quilt and I've made the other two Lemoyne stars, just need to prep the applique for the smaller stars this evening.

 

A BIG thank you to Guute, who is drawing this quilt in EQ6 and sharing with others, Miriam and Renate, all three helped with moral support and measurements when I cut my first LeMoyne star diamonds the wrong size! I am continually amazed at how the love of quilting surpasses all language barriers. Although Guute and Renate speak much better English than I speak their languages :o)
Miriam is Australian so we write the same language, but I'm sure if I heard her speak I'd have to ask her to slow down...lol...I couldn't even understand people in Boston when my husband and I visited a few years ago. He had to translate everything for me!
Here's a quilt that I did a few years ago out of a Kaffe Fassett book (not sure which one right now, but I have all of them)called Handkerchief Corners, I believe.

 

I may have shown a picture of this quilt before, but it just looked so pretty hanging on the stair rail thing this morning that I decided to post a picture of it. I think this quilt is one of my favorites because it is SO soft. I won't let anyone use it because I don't want it to wear out, but I think my oldest daughter occasionally sneaks a nap with it when she's home.

I'm thinking about doing a big giveaway soon. August is my birthday month and I like giving as much as receiving. Stay tuned for more info. Also I quit eating sugar on August 1st...cold turkey! I'm doing pretty good so far although it has been tough. I am a major sugar addict, but I need to get healthy!

Have a Blessed day today!
