I was thrilled. My only regret was that I didn't have the time to visit each of them on the list. But it was probably best that I didn't because I picked up so many different projects for Christmas presents. My favorite find was a wall hanging, the Quilt Diva by Amy Bradley. (www.justitdist.com/amybradley.htm) I found her in a shop called the Quilt-N-Bee. She is an appliqué project. I have decided to turn her into a quilt for my mom, who is my best sewing buddy and The Quilt Diva of my family. It sure has been fun digging through all of my stash and scraps to find just the right fabric for each piece. Happy to say, I have only had to purchase a couple of pieces of fabric for it (well at least that is the story I have told my husband). And he is putting the finishing touches on a light box he is making for me. This is my first serious appliqué project. I hope to present it to my mom as her Christmas gift. It will be a challenge to keep it hidden from her when she visits.
