I Must Confess!

I must confess....I am a swap virgin!  Thank you Nicky for providing me with the perfect moniker....

I was working on these courthouse steps for a super secret swap....I have only done one other swap and that was a personal swap between me and Clare.  But secret means secret!

Duh...

Super Secret means no sneak peeks...not yet!

So I am forced to start again on my swap....and keep the steps for myself....I will try to be strong...

I kind of LOVE this pillow....and it looks charming on my old ladder back chair.

I stitched it with perle cotton gray and orange...

 No fear...I began a new super secret swap project...and I love it just as much.  But this time my lips are sealed!

I also began cutting out some leaves or petals for the wedding quilt....

And I am thinking very soon it will be time for a giveaway.  So check back....details will be posted soon!

Have a wonderful Sunday.  Stay cool and safe!  We had a horrible storm in Central Ohio.

Coin Quilt

My sister's daughter is getting married this September and she has requested a quilt.  YAY!  She likes the Coin Quilt soooo.....I have a new project!

This quilt will be similar to this one, although I will use chambray in mocha rather than a Kona Cotton solid.  

She has asked for pick stitching as well as machine quilting.  Luckily, this is a pattern that goes together quickly.  August is always a busy time getting things done that we put off all summer, like doctor's appointments....our big Irish Family Reunion....getting ready for school to begin (groan)....but this will be a fun project for a lovely girl!  I love weddings and wedding things...this weekend is the shower here.  I can't wait!
