Book Read and Quilt Done

I finished the book...I think we all have.  And I finished my quilt.


My quilt is small.  It is going to be an AAQI quilt.  In the book, Nell is re-proposed to by the Hudson river.  This is also the spot she goes to to sit on the rock and think.

I machine pieced the background and hand appliqued the tree, leaves and rock.  I also hand quilted my little quilt. 

I look forward to seeing what everyone else is working on.

Hugs, Cathy

I Finished the Book!

It was an easy read.  I was surprised how fast I finished it.  I'm looking forward to see what mischief Nell will get into in the future.  Her grandmother Eleanor is one cool lady.  I hope everyone is enjoying the book.

Since I finished the book, I decided to start my quilt.


I sewed the background and then placed the pieces to be appliqued on the background.  I took a picture so I can place the leaves in the right spot.  Do you know where this is.....I will tell you after you've read the book.  But if you think you know, let me know.

This quilt is killing two birds with one quilt.  I made it small so it will also be an AAQI quilt.

Hugs, Cathy
