It is a really good thing I like the crinkly look since it helps cover up how awful my quilting is. I really hope to get better at it - someday.
Someone asked about the quilt on the end of the bed. The one hanging is one I purchased a long time ago (maybe 10 years?) I ordered out of Country Living magazine. When I bought it we were still sleeping in a full-size bed and I used it as the bed cover. When we bought the queen-size bed it would still work, but could stand to be a few inches wider. I still love it, so I hung it on the foot board! The yellow and blue quilt folded at the foot of the bed was given to me by a friend who no longer uses those colors in her home. I don't think there is anything between the top and backing. Sherry didn't make it, she had bought it when she had those colors in her home. I don't know if she has any idea how old it is or not - I'll have to ask her. Sometimes I swap them around and hang the yellow and blue one - just to be a little different! :)
Today I've been working on another gift - I'm doing some applique and it doesn't look any better than my quilting does. Maybe I should try hand applique and hand quilting - I do better with hand work than I do with machine work! I'm still debating if it looks too bad to give as a gift or if I should start over.
I think it is time for a chocolate break.
Have a great weekend!

I never could do applique that I was happy with! These colors are beautiful!
Chocolate always clears the mind. The more chocolate the better. LOL . The prints are beautiful.

Your newly finished throw is beautiful! And, I'm sure your quilting is not at all awful, silly you! I so wish I had learned to quilt year's ago...all quilts are usually very stunning.
Ahhhh-a chocolate break sound fabulous...never need a good excuse on my end, for one of those.
Hi Tina :)
I think your quilt is beautiful! You're too hard on yourself.
Thank you for the sweet comment about Shiloh.

Love these colors, Tina!! Anything you create and aren't happy with, I would love to give them a good home...yeah I know, right, you say! LOL
I just found your blog; love it!
As for your stitching imperfections, I beg to differ. (I first learned to embroider when I was four years old.)
People LOVE the old, imperfect things. One of my favorite pieces is a motto that my OCD daughter stitched perfectly, except for misspelling a word!
From someone who stitches joyfully, but not perfectly, the beauty of it is not perfection, but the love that's in it!
