Here is a picture of my daughters graduation quilt. She wants to be an author writing the great American novel! So, I decided to do a bookself full of books with pictures of her favorite teachers and quotes from them on the quilt. It was quilted by outlineing the books and pictures with a large stiple at the edges. Glad this is done, but at the same time, it was a lot of fun to do and I will be doing more of this quilt!!

That's exactly what I'm doing for my daughter! I drew up a pattern for a bookshelf. I'm cutting out the books right now. I hope mine turns out as well! :D

I got mine from Christine Thresh's patterns. Than, just added wood grain fabric on top of each shelf and boarder!.
