because inside that edition are my quilts!!!!! Girl or Boy . . . Hugs to Enjoy were designed and pieced by me and quilted by Natalia Bonner. Isn't this just the cutest picture?? I can't get over how adorable it makes my quilts look!!!!
Being published is something I have had on my list of things to do for a while now. I still remember doing a little squeal and happy dance when I got the email that these quilt designs were accepted. The process takes a while and now that it is here I still can't believe it. I just get giddy each time I see this!!!
Here is a full shot of each of the quilts. They feature both piecing and applique.
I used Riley Blake's Penny Lane by My Mind's Eye. I just love these color combos :) They are so bright and happy and are just perfect for a new little wee one!!!
And here are some close-ups of the quilting. The quilting Natalia did is just amazing!! Thanks again Lady!!!
Happy Quilting to each of you!!! I think I might be on Cloud 99 all week long :)
Congratulations to you! If you visit my blog and look back a post or two, you will see my design partner and I have a quilt in that same issue...it's the top one folded on the cover! It's a fun process, isn't it? Love your quilts!!!
