Here's Cooper!

Not a great shot, but he's one happy NE fan. We still have some applique to add - Huskers across the big N and little red N's in the corners (as per Coop's design)but I had to go to NE to get more fabric. Robert took some good pictures of the quilt before we gave it to him but they've mysteriously disappeared from his computer, so this will have to do for now. At least it's pretty much done. I quilted it myself to be able to give it to him for his birthday, sandwiching 2 layers of cotton batting since he likes his quilts "heavy and cushy". OMG! It was like wrestling a bear! I was reminded why I love my machine quilters soooooooo much.

Congratulations to ytsmom - you're the winner of the Perennials booklet and scraps (almost 2 yards total). Enjoy!

Up for this week is one of the new KT Favorites - 10 Years & Counting BOM books. It's been one of those projects that has taken months to finish. I handed it over to Robert today so he'll begin printing tomorrow. The winner will receive one of the books hot off the presses.

On a deadline for Christmas 2011 so better get back to stitching ornaments for my feather tree quilt/Advent calendar.

More later,
Lynne

  25. Love Cooper's quilt. Can't go wrong with the Huskers. He looks so happy with his quilt. Sometimes the best thing about quilting is seeing the joy on someones face when you give them a quilt. It really makes you feel good to see their excitement. I bet it's one warm quilt with 2 layers of batting. Thanks for the chance to win your new book. Thank you, Karen M

  30. Love the quilt for your grandson, I just love to give quilts to those who I love. I would also love to be in the running for your new KT BOM book. I have lots of KT fabric that needs a pattern book like this one.
