Well, there wasn't too much going on this week to report on. More snow and snowshoes, but that is becoming routine. So, I thought I would share with you all quite possibly the biggest project I have ever tried to accomplish. We are comming up on 4 years since I started it! Granted, I have not worked on it consistently the whole 4 years ... maybe that is why I am bringing it out again to show you. That should be sufficent motivation to get working on it again. That and the fact that obviously I'm not too busy to be doing something productive with my time!
I started this quilt with intentions of it being a wedding present to Tanner. I'm kinda behind schedule! I got this nice little book that is walking me through the whole process step by step. It is the first time I have attempted a quilt and I still really want to do the whole thing by hand. So far, it is all hand pieced and about 1/3 of the way quilted by hand. If I ever do another one ... I will definately be ok with using a machine!

I SO admire your ambition Katie!
I have ALWAYS wanted to make (start) a quilt. Last Christmas my mom even bought me my very first sewing machine too. Maybe you could give me some tips about the process of quilting, and maybe even let me know what this great book is that is helping you learn?
