This Little Pig Went To Market
This little pig went to market…Quilt Market of course. Her name is Tiffany and she’ll be boarding the plane for Houston this morning. I hope she got a bit more sleep than I did. I can’t have a cranky pig at market. :>) With a curled up tail and a bow around her tummy, she’s ready to meet and greet and she’ll be doing lots of that this weekend. Tiffany is my newest Petite pattern. My granddaughter Alyssa is the hand model for Tiffany. Didn’t she do a great job? Hope Miss Tiffany has a smooth flight. We’ll have a few of her friends for sale at Sample Spree during…

I didn’t include it because so many of you already purchased it. Baby Cakes Quilt Kit in Pink or Blue! It’s not often I make a quilt without applique, but sometimes I just need some easy piecing.

Quilt Labels
I’ve just finished stitching this label on my newest block of the month. Stitching on the label always feels so good. It’s the final touch that says the quilt is really finished!
