I finished a coin quilt with a jelly roll of Hullabaloo fabric. It's a cute line with lots of dots, color and animals. I thought it might make a nice play mat/quilt for our little granddaughter, Callie Jane.

I'm one of those who rarely pre-washes fabric because I enjoy the crinkle effect from shrinkage. I didn't prewash the flannel backing and it REALLY shrank so I got a little more crinkle than I had planned for! Those are my Valentine tulips from Mr. White Socks. I'm lucky because he can be quite romantic!
I've started practicing my hand quilting. Every Wednesday morning I quilt with a group of Mennonite ladies. They have been kind enough to include me in their circle and I am getting "expert" guidance! You can see a little big stitch quilting on the pillow I made to match the quilt.

Beautiful quilts and quilting! I love the crinkle effect and the colors. Lucky little Callie Jane to have such a talented grandma to make her pretty things. Have a wonderful day. Tammy
wow, lucky you for getting to play with experienced hand quilters! i would love some guidance, and probably desperately need it too. I love your greek cross quilt, I made one for my mother but haven't gotten around to sharing it yet, lol. And I totally hear you on the shrinkage crinkle thing, that's my absolute favorite part!
I love your quilt finish, such lovely bright colours. Your hand quilting on the pillow adds a lovely touch, especially knowing you have been quilting with some Mennonite women.
Working on my stash of modern/retro fabrics! Can't wait to start cutting some of it to make my first Modern Quilt!
This blog is wonderful! thank you!
