Michelle's Christmas Present





Hey everyone, remember this quilt?

I made the top this summer and I was supposed to give it away, but I LOVED it so much, I just had to keep it. (I ended up making another one to give away:)

I gave the local quilt artisan quilt the top and I was able to open it at Christmas and see my long awaited surprise. I had NO idea how she would quilt it, I just knew that there was a paper bag in my office with my name on it - all stapled shut with like a million staples so I couldn't peek! On Christmas morning I found it lying over me, just as if Santa had dropped it off over night! Oh, I was thrilled! Brenda did a GREAT job quilting it with a yummy cinnamon swirl pattern. Now all I had to do was finish the binding. Well, yesterday I finished the binding and it's BEAUTIFUL! It's more than I could ever have hoped for! Thank you Brenda for making this quilt so special!

  2. Hey girl, thanx! I miss you too, and I totally know what you mean about putting out fires! Whenever you get a rest, call. I've been picking through my beads and finding little snatches of time to create. I can't wait to publish the new stuff. It's yummy!
    How is the MAC conversion going? Did you figure out the right click settings? :)
