the proverbial quilt so far

i collected this fabric and pattern a few years ago and started piecing a few weeks ago while away on retreat...

love denyse schmidt xoxox

want this to one day be on our bed....i love this quote and i will appreciate this reminder every night!!

i am mixing ds fabrics w solids and a kona bone for backround

i got a pretty good start on it at retreat

i am not using the templates that are provided in the pattern...instead i am winging it tonya ricucci style

and looky looky i popped into joann fabric the other day and found more wonderful ds fabric....

hope to find a good chunk of time soon to continue creating these words....but i have a feeling that this one is going to take awhile....i have so many projects started right now and i am taking a good break from sewing in march...first of all my sisters will be here for a visit and then i away to mexico with my girls.   xoxo pam
