Quilting



In between all this wedding prep, I've been working on a new quilt for my bedroom. I'm coming along pretty well on it. I have the quilt finished, the bed skirt is already on the bed, 2 new matching/coordinating pillow cases are done and I just have to quilt the 2 pillow shams to be finished. I also made a cute little accent pillow out of some of the left over material and I have two more accent pillows to cover. Once the room is complete, I'll get shots on here of it all finished. In the meantime, here's a quick peek. I don't know why these black spots are showing up on the fabric in the pictures, it is some sort of camera glich in uploading them... on the camera screen itself, the spots are not there !! Anyway, you see here the quilt (next to the pins and thread) and then the pillow sham top with the pillow case draped over it. I think all of the pieces have turned out really beautiful - I have to thank my sister, Kay, and niece, Kristi, for "shaming" me into making this set...when they were here for Lee and Amber's wedding 2 years ago, they asked me why I had beautiful quilts on all the beds in the house and why I had given away so many beautiful quilts and then I had a cheap old store bought quilt on my own bed !!! So, I figured it was time to get this done....
