It's Time Out for Women this week! I'm so happy! Happiness is just falling from all over the place. :) There is nothing quite like it. I must say I consider this weekend to be one of the funnest weekends of the whole year. Though I wish you could come with, I do hope you girls get to have a time out wherever you may be. =)


In other news, I made this quilt:
I really love it! Out of all the quilts I have ever made...
this one takes the cake! 
Seriously my favorite one ever.

Cambria even helped me on this one. I used thangles to make the pinwheels and she sewed the green thangles together.
Since all that involves is sewing on printed straight lines it was perfect for her to do.  Plus, she reached into her personal quilting stash and found the perfect border for the quilt!

I made this quilt for a dear friend's daughter.
She is a very talented artist who started her first year of
college this fall.
I wanted to give it to her before she left for college, and I even had it all ready to be quilted before she left.
A whole month before, to be exact.
But it just took a long time to be quilted.
That's fine.
I get it.
So now I have it ready for this week which turns out to be her 
birthday week. Yay!

I did a blanket stitch for the binding.
Every time I machine stitch a binding, I hate it.  I always say I'll never machine stitch another binding on, but then like a moth to a light bulb I always go back to it.

The back.
I named this quilt
"To Thine Own Self Be True"

I thought it was the perfect name.
