Making Amends

On Monday I shared my First Blush 

quilt project...

I was part of the blog hop
 that is still going on

through next week! 

I have been seeing a lot of fun
 projects using First Blush...

have you been following along?

Other than that...

I have been focused on the last minute details for the retreat I host

annually.

This year there are over 50 women
 attending
 and the weather should

be fantastic!

It starts Friday...

so, just two more sleeps and it's time!

                                  

But while I am getting ready for that...

there is another baby

 shower in my family...

so I have a few assignments

 for that, 

Like these corsages.

It's actually a reveal party...

 we are anxious to know if

we have another boy

 on it's way or

 if it's a girl that will even the score!

I had to do a little sewing for myself in between the other things...

These blocks go together pretty fast!

It didn't take long to get to this!

I have been in love with my October Skies fabric by Verna Mosequera..

and I know it would be perfect for Thimble Blossoms 

Vintage pattern but I kept pushing it to the side...

until now!

What is most special to me about this pattern...

is that long before I ever knew how to quilt I had purchased a vintage 

blue and white quilt... but after I used it and WASHED it...

well, it became shreds. This was the block... I had never known the

name of it... but I made it my mission to figure it out...

I think that is what led me to quilting in the first place.

So, this will finally be my replacement for the one that was lost.

Making amends to the quilter who had made that beautiful blue and white

Album quilt.
