Celtic Solstice on the frame!

Not mine but isn't it beautiful. This is one that a friend at my Quilt Guild finished. Yes I said one of....she had two finished and brought them to be quilted. I talked her into letting me quilt one for her. I have it about 2/3 finished. Now this making me want to finish mine!

 
She really did a nice job piecing these blocks. So many pieces.
It is a pleasure to quilt! I' m using a panto called Sassy.
Neutral thread called "sesame seed". and I haven't used this batt
before. It's called  Warm Bond an 80/20 blend. Kind of like the Hobbs
that I use most of the time.




This is one beautiful quilt.

Reuse / Recycle

I tried a new grocery bag today. Just testing out the pattern. I always get comments at the store whenever I use one of my own bags. This pattern went together easily. I will make it again...
