A Quilt for Leukemia and Lymphoma
A quilt I made a year ago finally is going to find a new home! My friend Stephanie and her friend Abe are working to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Which is truly ambitious and exciting! I thought maybe this quilt could help them raise some funds. It's a bright and happy quilt and I'm excited to see it go! If you would like to find out more about their efforts, please visit this link.

Parisville Quilt
I finally purchased some Parisville fans in pomegranate to back my quilt! I also chose a variegated thread to quilt with. Now just to sandwich and baste!
Here is a photo of the quilt top that was finished a couple years ago! It is a pattern by Quilt Dad for Free Spirit!

Painting with Antonio

Yesterday I did a little painting with my son Antonio who is 4. He loves to draw and paint so I thought it might be fun to paint something with him.

He loves drawing shapes and using lots of colours.

I love the modern feel of this painting :)

Pink Penguin Paper Piecing
I decided to do a little Pink Penguin paper piecing for my FLQS partner. These are such fun blocks to make.
I really love this indigo coloured block.
I'm adding some machine embroidered wording to the small quilt as well.

New AddressTag Holder
I machine embroidered an address tag holder from an image of my latest painting below.
I really love how it turned out and am so happy with the result!
