Because Robyn asked to see....

Here are the pictures of the quilts I entered in the Topsfield Fair:

I actually won committee's choice for the house quilt and ribbons for the others. It was pretty fun times.

And here are a couple of quilts I've been working on since then:

This one I made for our friends Sam and Deja (and actually looks way better now that it has been quilted)

This one is for a friends who's sister just had a baby. She got the fabric in Hawaii!

And this is a cemetery quilt I made for Kenneth's brother:

He is really into family history and got the idea from some 19th century quilts he found online. So we added family names that he's found in New England, and made him his very own cemetery quilt.

We really do more than just make quilts.. And, I have much more to blog about... maybe I'll just do a year in review :)
