Nothing says "Thank you!" like seeing a gifted quilt in action! :)
I love getting pictures of people using my quilts. It's the best feeling! Even when I am at home and my honey bunny is sleeping on the couch covered with one of my quilts, it says "Thank you!"
Sew, here is a picture I received from my office mate with his new baby boy on the quilt I made for him!
Isn't he just cute as a button?!!! You can see the full album of pictures for making this quilt here.
I also wanted to share with you this awesome stuff I got at my Quilting Club the last time we met. It's a fusible tape for joining 2 pieces of batting together. I always have medium to small pieces left over when I square off my quilts. Especially since I use the large 40 yard roll (90 inches wide). If I have a lap quilt I usually don't need all 90 inches so I save these pieces that are usually about 20 inches wide. Well I took 2 of those pieces and joined them. It worked like a charm!
I hope all is well in your life!
Until next time,
Mike.

Many of my followers and quilting friends have told me that I need to change the name of my blog because I am not an amateur, but at heart, I always will be. I call myself an amateur to remind me that every stitch, every fabric shape and every seam is more perfect when it looks like it was made by a human being (especially if it’s me, and I am not perfect). This way I spend more time admiring my finished masterpieces and less time ripping out stitches. This is just a little bit of my journey...
