First Blog Post! Yeah:)

Hello!

My first blog post in years, oh how time flies! Just wanted to share that I finally finished a quilt for my daughter. She has wanted a quilt for the longest time, but I didn't find the time to finish it. It was pieced for about a year or two (again, time flies). It's a good thing I've waited this long to get it quilted though:)  My sweet husband surprised me with a longarm machine last year and now I can practice my quilting on all the many pieced quilts that have been hiding in the closet for years. I even ventured out and quilted some customer quilts as well. All I can say that I'm having so much fun quilting on my new "toy".
So here are some pictures of her so long awaited quilt. I've used a Moda Layer Cake from the collection called "Hideaway". The backing is the cutest fabric ever, it's a Swiss inspired village:) The quilting design is an allover swirl which gives the quilt a wonderful texture. My daughter loves this quilt and so does her cat:)
I sure hope I can attach the pictures correctly, I am a bit rusty in this blogging adventure:)

Have a wonderful quilty day!
