American Quilter – sneak peek

Standard

So my sister wrote a book.  It was released a couple of weeks ago.  (If you’ve been under a rock and didn’t know this, see the previous post).  Her publisher, The Kansas City Star, sent a copy of her book to AQS.  AQS then asked Trisch to write an article for their magazine, American Quilter.  Trisch asked if I would like to quilt one of the quilts for the magazine.  Of course I said “yes!”

After finding out that our FedEx delivery person needs some glasses I received the quilt top and back a few weeks ago.  (The package was delivered to a neighbor whose house number doesn’t look anything like mine.  Last week he tried to deliver someone else’s package to me but I saw the addressee on the package before signing for it.  But I digress.)

Now that I’ve taken you around the block with my story I’ll tell you that I completely enjoyed working on this quilt!  I had a couple of frustrating moments but I learned from them.  I cannot show you the whole quilt yet, but it is beautiful!  I love the colors she used too!

As promised, here are a couple of pictures of the quilt.
