Answer:
You get my new quilt top (I only finished the top at 4:30 AM) aptly named: "Churning Stomach"

It's for my husband who absolutely loves food. He watches Food Network like it's going out of style and has I don't even want to know how many cookbooks.

So yes, he just needed to have a food quilt. He loves the block the Churn Dash, so I was going to do that in different colors and things that meant something, but food just kept coming back to the forefront. It was originally going to be for his 30th birthday in May, but by April I had only finished 4 blocks. Then it just got pushed off until yesterday when I was without a laptop.

I got a really bad computer virus and everything had to be totally wiped on my laptop - so without this board, I just sewed, and sewed and sewed.

Jennifer this is a great quilt!! I love the name churning stomach. Has your hubby seen it yet?

Jennifer22206 12-12-2010 06:17 PM

CJ - I'm not sure. I know he's seen some of the food fabric, but not the full thing. :) I'm going to have one heck of a time trying to quilt it without him noticing.

wanderingcreek 12-12-2010 06:27 PM

I really like both name and quilt. So when does the foody get his quilt?

Veronica 12-12-2010 07:42 PM

Funny name, beautiful quilt, it should keep him drooling while he is watching TV.:lol:

Momof3Es 12-12-2010 07:43 PM

He does cook. Loves to. In the 5 years we've been married I don't think that we've had the same meal more than 3 times that he's cooked. Me on the other hand, I repeat my meals!

This is great. What a lovely idea.

craft phanatic 12-13-2010 09:23 PM

Haaaaa. That is awesome. wonderful name and very cool quilt.

That back is MUCH more appropriate than a single fabric would have been! What a special quilt for a foodie!
My DH loves to cook. I just realized this evening that not only does he have his own cookbooks (mostly desserts), his own knives (but he does sharpen mine when asked), but he and I have HIS AND HERS MIXERS! (He has a giant Hamilton Beach that I can't even get out of the cupboard; I use an old Sunbeam Mixmaster.)

What a perfect theme quilt!! Good Job :D:D:D

That's funny with the mixers! We have our own peelers since I'm left handed.
