Hmm, well here I am.

Awhile back I decided that I needed to make Travis and Michelle a quilt.  They were married before my quilting "fever" had caught. I saw this quilt on crazy mom quilts blog and was inspired.  She used a line of Connecting Threads fabric which I had actually purchased, just because.  It was so pretty and on sale once, so I became the proud owner of 2, 10 in stacks.  Here was a project for that fabric.  I love how it turned out :)  I don't do well at thinking through my backing when I begin a quilt.  This quilt required a lot of digging and arranging.  Hehe, some of it is even part of a skirt Brenna decided she didn't want anymore.  I purchased a quilting Craftsy class for machine quilting large quilts on a small machine.  I chose to do this one where I sandwiched and quilted it in sections and then hooked the sections together.  Another new experience was the quilting itself.  I decided to try my hand at free-motion quilting with my treadle machine.
