Happy New Year all!

Quilting is a great way to relax, to express your creativity, and to warm your family and friends, not just physically, but by touching their hearts with a hand made gift. Finding time and energy to finish them all in a year can be tricky, which is why so many quilters prefer to hire out the quilting portion of the project.

Lauri's sister is expecting baby #2, so the older child is being moved to a Big Boy Bed. He needed a Big Boy Quilt to go with it, so Auntie Lauri made him a beautiful scrappy star quilt for his bed! For an extra bit of fun the border fabric is *glow in the dark*! It measures 71" x 99", so it's perfect for a twin bed and because it was made with high-quality fabrics, it will last for years to come!

I stitched 3's and E's all over the surface--yellow varigated thread for the yellow and stars, and blue varigated for the outside border.

If you need a helping hand with your quilts, please feel free to drop me a note!
