I guess when I first knew she had the "BUG" was when I noticed she started hiding her fabric stash at my house (as if I had any extra room for someone else's stash). And she wasn't really hiding it from anyone, it's just that she didn't have a place to put it in her tiny house. It seems her yarn stash takes up the stashing room around there. That and 3 boys, a husband and "some" cats and other various and sundry pets, etc.
So here she is, caught by the bug, sewing at my house.

| The finished quilt top. And she did it mostly by herself. Note the look of pride. |
The center is a panel called "Cherish Nature" and the rest is machine appliqued (blanket stitch). She delivered it to her favorite quilter this week, so stay tuned for the finished product in weeks to come.
And just in case you might think I have only one talented daughter....go here amurphyphoto.com/blog
to see the work of my MIDDLE child.

Beautiful, Calista!
That is lovely! Did she come up with the idea for the appliques herself or was there a pattern or something? I don't know much about this stuff you see. ;)

I can't wait to see it quilted! I may or may not have begged Chris to paint the bedroom to match so I can hang it in there!
Greta,
It was a pattern. But it used a different panel.
she IS multi-talented - she makes beautiful quilts, and beautiful baby boys, too
and i LOVE looking at Ms. Middle's photography - she's got some mad skills
I cannot believe this is her first quilt - it's wonderful!! Will she try quilting??
great job. I have really loved that fabric. I have a few of the pieces.
