I love the word "extravaganza" and use it every opportunity I get. Makes everything fancy. Okay, focus.
I am so excited to be posting right now! For a few reasons, first Park City Girl AMY is having her blogger's quilt festival which we've been waiting and waiting for! You must go check out all the amazing quilts people are making.
Speaking of amazing, my mommy designed this quilt for my sweet baby boy! Isn't it precious? I love everything about it, the sailboats, the water...the colors. I adore.
Megan and I are so lucky to have such a talented mom, let me tell you she put so much thought and time into every bit of this quilt, and I am so grateful. It will live through our family for generations to come I'm sure. And yes, this bad boy will soon make it to the printing press to be one of our patterns :)
The next reason I am so excited to be writing this post? We are launching our new blog, bold, we know. Bless our hearts, but please indulge us. We are absolutely giddy over it.
It's called QuiltStory and it's a place where we want to share other's amazing quilts and stories that go along with them. We want readers to come and admire as well as quilters to make their submissions. Please go and check it out!

Wow -- Great design! I love the beach, so this is just a fun quilt. I am just learning free-motion quilting this week, so I am in awe of the simple waves with the quilting. Again, great job!
I love your sailboat quilt! The last sailboat quilt I made was back in the 1980's!! wow! where has the time gone!
I would love to win your giveaway!
Please put my name in 3 times as I am now one of your newest followers! I love your blog!
That cute is adorable!
hm.."Extravaganza" definitely makes things sound "extra-ordinary" :o) I love the beautiful sailboat quilt your mom made! You can just imagine setting sails on those pretty blue seas.
(Ah! my goal is to get my unfinished quilt tops, etc done for our future grandbabies!) We are very blessed with the quilts that my mom made for our children and cherish them especially since she is no longer here, but they represent her time and love spent in making them.
So happy to finally get my post up for the Quilt Extravaganza...it is about our two daughters who are sweet sisters...like you two :o) And unfinished quilts that initially were for them...but looks like they won't be done until their firstborns are born!
I love the idea of your new blog-Quilt Story! I just went over and became a follower...
Blessings & Aloha!
(I am hopping over from the Quilt Festival...hope you get a chance to stop by :o) Also...as a novice quilter...I am taking this opportunity to ask quilter's what type of sewing machine do you use? )
