Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday & Happy New Year, Julie!


I made my sister, Julie open her Christmas present early.... I just couldn't wait:) Julie sells {at least some of} the Sandi Henderson fabric I used at her Dizzy Daizy quilt shop. The quilt pattern is called Topsy Turvy & calls for a jelly roll + some additional yardage for borders. I found the pattern at Quilter's Way in Concord, MA. I used a jelly roll of a combo of Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom & Farmer's Market fabric, plus fabric from Ginger Blossom for the borders. The blocks came out a bit smaller than the pattern said, and I can't remember the final measurements, but it's a good size throw.

I love the fun, bright fabric....it's like sunshine. I machine quilted it---just stitch in the ditch & big x's through the blocks.

My sister, Sara, sells Sandi Henderson's flannel at her flannel fabric shop...I've got plans for that flannel, let me tell you.

Lovely and so bright. You're a talented quilter. I'm sure your sister will love it.

We love it! Just as I predicted, Samantha snatched it from me the minute she saw it. She keeps going on and on about how talented Aunt Becky is! She and Tatum have been taking turns using it each night:) I have a feeling this will be the coveted family blanket that the kids will fight over when I die!

I am always so excited when you put up pictures of your projects, especially your quilts. I think I was supposed to be Amish or something. Quaker, maybe?
