Life has taken me away from my quilting blog, it was already a pretty busy year, with the addition of our fourth child, but then we decided to move, again, back to texas, and my life is just now starting to feel normal. I am almost unpacked, and we are starting to feel at home.
I honestly feel like I miss this blog and my quilting friends, I hope to be back here more often this year!
I have found time to quilt, and have a few to show here on my blog that I finished back before we put our house on the market (and I had to put my sewing machine away)...
swoon!
this quilt is big, so excuse my not so pretty pictures. It's an
oversized queen, and very difficult to photograph. I love this quilt,
it was fun for me. I made it for my daughters bed.
I stuck with a blue and pink pallette.
I opted to send it out to have it quilted, my first time ever, and what a treat that was! It turned out perfectly, and I probably wouldn't have finished it otherwise. I had Emily of Emerson Quilting do it for me and it looks sooo good, and she was FAST!
I bound it in a blue and white stripe.
I let my daughter pick the backing...pink mermaids, from sarahjane (I love everything she does!)

Love it!
It is absolutely beautiful, your daughter is a lucky girl!
From front to back and binding, it is a winner. Yep. Missed ya.
so excited to see you back! and a wonderful quilt of course!
This is a really pretty one. Makes me rethink my decision what to do in January. I don't want to start a new quilt, but I still haven't got my own swoon one....
Beautiful, Nettie! I'm glad you're back on the blog.
What an absolute beauty! The colors are great too and not overly girly. Someday I'll have to send a quilt out. I do love that quilting style.
p.s. welcome back!
Yay! Welcome back and what a way to come back! Love this quilt! Everything about it is beautiful. The pattern, the fabrics, the quilting, the binding! You hit it out of the park!
Love that backing with the swoon! Your daughter did great there!
Wow! Lucky girl...I thought you made it for yourself.
Don'tcha hate moving. It just sucks up so much of your life and energy. I hope you're loving Texas, so that it feels worthwhile! :)
This is beautiful! I love the binding and the backing - they suit the top so well.

Beautiful quilt! When I finish my next large quilt, I might need to try your machine quilter :)

Your swoon quilt is really gorgeous! I love the backing too, and the binding. I made the swoon quilt also. I have been thinking about making it into a baby quilt because I just love the quilt block :)
