Sorry I missed you last week...it was the final cleanout of my mother's apartment, and that took alot out of me!
I am happy to report, however, that I have blown the dust off the sewing machine, and am hard at work on my next project...a wedding quilt for a very sweet girl at work. Heather is the same age as my youngest daughter, Kerri, and I think of Heather as a daughter.
The quilt I chose for Heather and her new husband, Cort, is a flannel quilt, my absolute favorite fabric. The prints all have an outdoor, woodsy feel, which is perfect for Heather and Cort, since they love the north woods so much. Cort's family has a cottage in far northern Wisconsin, and they visit there quite often. The prints and their love of the north woods also inspired the name of this quite, which is simply "Northwoods".
The fabric is all from the Winter In The Pines collection by Holly Taylor for Moda. I purchased the fabrics and pattern as a kit from Jeri's Quilt Shop in Norway, MI several years ago, just after Heather and Cort were engaged. It was one of those "Aha" moments...when I saw the finished sample, I knew it was the one I had to make for them. Geri's is one of my favorite shops, and I visit it whenever we visit Denis' brother and his wife who live in Iron Mountain. Lucky me, we are going again next weekend. Geri's, here I come!!
