My sis is deployed again and said she'd really like a quilt for her "place" while she's there. She sent me some of her old uniforms and I cut, cut, cut!

All the pieces were done using the Rhonda Woodsmall cutdown method. I'd say this is my most accurate quilt yet!

My 5-year old's bed/room. Should I send the Barbie car with it? :D

Raw-edge applique. First ever, I think I like it!

the quilt is spectacular! Your sis might get some joy out of the Barbie car, but you might have a hard time getting it away from your 5 yr. old.;-)

Wow! Never would have thought camo could be made beautiful. Bless you for doing this for your sister. May God keep her safe.
