It's been about 8 1/2 months since I last blogged. On August 25th, 2011, we welcomed the newest addition to our family, Julianna Gabriella Zito, weighing 5lbs 4 oz. Life has been so busy but so wonderful with little Julianna! I haven't been paper crafting very much but have been sewing up a storm! I may have to start another blog for that......
Today I'm sharing a quilt I made for the Missouri Star Quilt Co. Iron Quilter Contest. We had to use a special ingredient in our creations - at least one charm pack of Moda's Summer Breeze fabric. I used 3 charm packs, Moda Snow White and Summer Breeze yardage. The the pattern is "Sparkle" by Margot Languedoc of the Pattern Basket. The finished quilt measures 71 x 79 inches. I had a such a fun time putting together this quilt before Christmas and thank goodness baby Julianna was super co-operative during it all! The quilt was longarmed locally by Nancy Renaud of the Quilt Fairy.
I definitely learned how to quilt under pressure and strengthened my chain piecing skills while working on this quilt! The quilt turned out beautifully and is one of my favourites! I even came in 2nd place for the contest! I'm submitting my quilt into Amy's Bloggers' Quilt Festival - Spring 2012!
