the newest quilt!

Here is a new little quilt for the lovely Wilkins babe to be!

I am finding that my quilting is taking less and less time,
i started this one on Wednesday and finished it this morning.
total time approximately 6
hours.


Thomas thought it looked a little familiar...
i wasn't sure why, until we compared it to the quilt i made for him when we started dating.

here are thom and i holding up the 2 quilts.


as per usual, the back was done in a little bit of flannelette.
this particular pattern i found at the craft/fabric/sewing show with my mom and cousin Colleen. Colleen has all the inside scoops on where to get the best stuff and have the best days ever!!!


















Stay tuned for pictures from my Sasky adventure!

In Tuesday's Star Phoenix!!


ON THE RIVER AGAIN: Matthew and Nancy Johnson, along with their dog Cleo, paddle the South Saskatchewan River through Saskatoon Sunday (above) following their wedding ceremony. The couple was photographed by The StarPhoenix in March 2007 (left), just before they began dating, on the river in the same red canoe and thought it would be fitting on their special day to mark one of the things that brought them together.
