cuddle up

over the weekend i completed my bliss baby quilt.  it is so cuddly!  after i washed & dried it... it is so soft and snuggly.  i hope that this new lovely baby girl will enjoy it and spend much time cuddled up with her mom and dad... and the quilt. :-) 

here are some shots of it a little closer up...

i have already chosen my next project and ordered some lovely french general fabric.  i am excited to get started on it.  i will be using a pattern from simplify by camille rosekelley (i know, i have mentioned the book before, but it has so many wonderful patterns!) *love it!  in the meantime, i plan to do some cleaning, organizing, and maybe a small project or two.  in preparation for spending hours working on the new quilt. 

our weather has been crazy with snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain.  we don't know from one minute to the next what exactly is going to start falling from the sky.  but, we did put some bird seed out on our deck.  it has been fun to sit and watch the cardinals and other birds who have 'dined' with us. 

stay warm.  be creative.  smile.
