The Gathering Baskets......

 
 
...is quilted, bound, the label has been sewn on and now it is ready for the graphic designer to do her magic on the pattern.  The pattern should be ready, hopefully, by the beginning of next week.  I have been busy cutting kits for it, and they should be completed when the pattern is ready.  Many of you have expressed interest in this quilt, so I will keep you up to date.
 
 
The first 12 kits I've made are from the exact fabrics.

 
The quilt is approximately 46 inches square, and is cotton appliqued on cotton.

 
This basket on the bottom has gathered.... Peace....Joy.....Love......Hope......and Faith. Gathering so that we might have something to give, and by giving we gather in return.....a never ending cycle.


 
And the label is in place.


Now, we are back to Sandy McKells lovely quilts.
 

 
Another pieced beauty.


I wanted to take this quilt right off the wall and curl up with it for a nap......something I'm very good at and often enjoy! :-)
 

 
This quilt was hanging in a hall so that I didn't get a straight on picture of it.  I believe it is a barn raising pattern. And I do not understand why this underline red thing has appeared!!!
 

 
A close up look.  We start a new week full of endless possibilities.  Keep a happy heart and seize the day!
