I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

"Pinkalicious"
"Pinkalicious". (I always name my quilts - this one was easy!) I
pulled all my bits of pink, some with little girly motifs. Some
little girl will love it! I DID purchase the border fabric, which is all
very small overlapping boxes, so I machine quilted overlapping boxes, something I've
always wanted to try. My boxes don't follow the fabric motifs, but they
turned out well, and very textured. I used the round plastic guilting foot -
a great help. At the very end of the border quilting job, I quilted one giant swirl,
in the border, just to be obstinate!
Dig that cute backing! I DID purchase that especially for this little quilt.
