Happy New Year and Happy Birthday here

Started the New Year with some sewing. A new top for me and my 12 yo dd started a quilt from a book she received for Christmas Sew Hip. She received some fat quarters with the book but we had to make a quick run to Wal-Mart for additional fabric. The nearest town has 3 quilt stores but all were closed today, I really don't like shopping Wal-Mart but she really wanted to start this quilt today. I spent way over an hour cutting out the fabric but she has 3 blocks done and is doing a beautiful job. I am biased but she has a great eye for color. You can catch a glimpse of the quilt from the book on the RJR website






Here is my new top, Christine Jonson's Wrap top again, fabric is RPL from Joann's and I have had this thing cut out for a month now.












Also today is a birthday here, 17 years ago my second daughter was born.
Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to my wonderful girl.

    Beautiful top! I also love the looks of that quilt - I can't wait to see how it turns out. That series of books is supposed to be very inspiring for young sewers - I'll have to remember it for my daughter this summer!

    BTW, Happy Birthday to your daughter!

    Congratulations to your daughter on her constructing her new quilt. How exciting.
