That is lovely, Nancy. The feathers almost look as if they started as butterflies at the bottom--nice touch!

The feathers in the center are a stencil that my sister pointed out that she thought was pretty when we were shopping. So I know she likes it, but she has no idea she's getting it. (I'm the sneaky sister. I was also able to buy her a Christmas present while we were shopping together at Kohl's. I carried it around as we shopped for half an hour or so and she never noticed!)

Got my first finish last night:

Attachment 3835_IMG_2137.JPG not found

This was also my last start since I started it on Monday. It's for my sister to thank her for all of the cooking and everything she did for me over Christmas. I LOVE how it turned out. The fabric is Radiance, a silk/cotton blend, that I picked up at my LQS at their year-end 30% off sale. It's all good! The batting is a wool bat on top of a cotton one. It's just 12" square.

I sat down yesterday to look at what I wanted to work on this next year. The list is way to long!!!

However first on the list is finishing the binding on my HST exchange quilt and a queen size Summer Lake Log Cabin (Judy Martin pattern). Both are going in our local guild show so they need to be done by Jan 19th. I then have 5 other quilts that just need binding.

After that is my Reels quilt and helping my kids each make a quilt. I also have the BOM from Superior Threads "Celtic Crystals" and the BOM "The Two of Us" I will be working on.

The local Bernina dealer had a great deal on a basic sewing machine, a little "Bernette 46" (i think that is what it was called) and 2 of my girls each got one. They used some money they had earned toward them and are looking forward to using them and taking sewing lessons.

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Charae, your photo quilt is lovely--what a great gift for your SIL. I really like what you did in combining fabric colors, and the buttons were a "just right" embellishment.

twiglet OFFLINE Posts: 3849 Thank you received: 546	Well done Charae, I love your quilt and the little button embellishment. The photos are good! Perhaps we should have a counter running and add each quilt finished. How many do you think we'd get to in 2013.
