This year I took only one project with me. Back at Ann's August Open House my friend Marie Paule had this AMAZING quilt where the centers of each block were stitched quilt blocks and the colours were these amazing reds, blues and greens. I tried to talk her out of that quilt (so amazed by it I didn't get a picture), however success was not to be had. However Marie Paule the sweetheart is going to help me out to create my own quilt. She's lent me the pattern and she's sourced the fabrics for me, now all there is to do is get the blocks stitched. The first two I got done last week, this will also be my flying project when I head out to SW Arizona to visit Kathy, and I'm sure it'll be my companion when we drive up to Phoenix to go to the Attic for a little stash shopping and meet up with some of our Canadian friends who are there and some of our blogging friends (Hi Annette!)!

Yes, I am actually stitching these on aida, just to make the fabric more rugged & washable for a quilt and well I'm just copying Marie Paule.

Can't wait to see you and Kathy!
Your blockes are gorgeous. Lovely snowflake ornament. Great photo hunt photo.
Great snowflakes, and that quilt is going to be amazing
Looking forward to seeing your quilt develop. Love the snowflake ornaments as well.
Nice work Dani! I'm stitching a cushion on Aida for the same reason, it will hopefully stand up better to some wear and tear. I look forward to seeing the quilt progress.
love the quilt blocks.

How nice of Marie Paule to help you create your own quilt, Dani! Looks like you've got a nice start on it with two blocks down. And I love your snowflake finishes with the beaded edge and hanger.
Glorious sunset photo--hopefully you'll get a few more of those when you visit sunny Arizona :)
