New Year, New Designs

  I love starting a new year its like starting a new design for a fabulous quilt.  Quilts are the fabric of lives.  I started this blog to share some of my textiles that I have completed with friends, family and anyone who wants to stop by.  I have quilted all of my quilts either on a simple sewing machine, short arm quilting machine and I have even hand quilted. I have quilts starting from the very first quilt I made, the really sweet purple and lilac, with print block quilt to the modern block in neutrals, and the very precious hand quilted Childrens quilt that I hand made on trips back and forth to Arkansas Childrens Hospital in Little Rock.  You can read about that story at http://abigaileg.blogspot.com/.  It is a wonderful story of faith and perserverance even though the future may look kind of dim at times.  I will be posting a picture of each quilt that I have made along with the story of the quilt.

Every good quilt - has a story!

Enjoy !
