Thanksgiving is gone and Christmas is just one blink away...or should I say, "blink-blink"? Once again I am practicing something new, larger text. At least I can read it while I'm typing :)

Thanksgiving was so awesome! Dearest son, Patrick, was home, the Seminoles of FSU are now in first place and the weekend was full of football and fun.

I did finish my Africa quilt. It is not quilted yet. I am saving that for my friend, Bob, at Country Crossroads. I just love the way it turned out! I think it is one of the best quilts I have ever made. It wasn't the trickiest, but one of the most pleasing.

  6. Mary Pat, this quilt is stunning. I don't have African Fabrics, but I do have an African friend that I'd like to make something for, so I'm just looking around to try to get some ideas, especially for color. Of everything I've seen, this quilt, and your second African quilt, are the prettiest quilts I've seen!

  7. This quilt is such fun!! It would be great quilted with one of my African patterns, like "African Maze!" I just might make one like it for myself! I have collected quite a few African fabrics. Are there little black strips between all the fabrics? Thanks for posting it!!
