I have been quilting for 32 years and have made many favorite quilts. They change over the years especially with the changing fabric styles. Currently my favorite quilt was given to my niece for her 16th birthday last year. I think she liked it but you never really know with teenage girls - but I LOVED IT! I loved it's simplicity. I've always loved homespuns but I loved these homespuns in bright cheery colors. But mostly I loved it because I made it on a retreat with my favorite quilting friends. We all made the same quilt but used different fabrics - batiks, florals, Jennifer Paganellis. We had the best time and the quilt will always remind of that weekend.
Thanks for checking out my quilt, now go over to the festival and check out all of the other fabulous quilts just a click away.

Great quilt! (I love homespun too-especially the feel of it!)
well not sure I like that this was done with your favorite retreat friends-lol. I do love it and am not a fan of homespuns normally.
What a wonderful quilt - love that it's set on point. Great job!
Now this is a quilt you just want to snuggle up in! Nice job!
Love the quilt, but really love the fact that you made it with all your quilty friends - what fun it must have been to look at all the quilts and see just how different they were.
This is a lovely quilt and the homespuns look great. What a lovely gift!
