Feeling Pinkish!

Good morning, friends.
Thank you so much for your kind responses and understanding messages regarding yesterday's post over how I've been feeling regarding my sew-jo over the past few weeks.
One of my friends commented saying that she had to shake things up and dive into something new to respark her drive.

Say Hello to BLOOM!

I was working on finishing up this little quilt before I headed to Arizona for a much awaited visit with my Dad and brother Scott.

This little quilt was designed and made with my Craftours travel in mind - and will be making its debut in January when we travel to Australia.

I am SO super excited!

Small projects are great for travel - and it's my hope that by the time we return home that folks will have their center embroidery done, and will be excited to get their patchwork borders on -
