I'm haunting my daughter

One of the benefits college students enjoy is getting away from their parents. This isn't working out so well for my daughter for two reasons.

Thirty-Three!

I know that some are betting against me finishing fifty quilts by the end of the year. Truth be told, I have finished over fifty quilts already, but they aren't fifty quilts that I can share on this blog.

Thirty-three is a twin of a quilt I made earlier this year:

Some baby somewhere will enjoy this.

Christmas in October

Run to the store to purchase Quilting for Christmas. I worked on one of the quilts!
