1 BIG move.

In January I made the pink banner quilt above & photographed it out in the freezing cold.  My dad quickly snapped a few photos and in that shirt time my fingers were freezing.  In October my brother & I went out for a quilt photo shoot in which I was wearing a tank top and shorts.  I miss my friends, I miss the food, but I don't miss the cold!

A year ago I couldn't have guessed that this is where I'd be.  2011 has been a really LONG year.  I've grown up a lot & learned a lot about myself in the process.  I'm happier than I've been in a really long time and finally feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.  Here is to hoping that 2012 is just as sweet.

edit to answer some of your questions.
1. The large quilt shown above is my pink banner quilt.  The pattern is by Vanessa of V&Co and is available here.
2. The left bottom quilt is Come What May, one of my new patterns.
3. The center quilt is Raspberry Dessert, a quilt design I published in a magazine earlier this year.  For those of you interested in making it that missed out on the magazine I'm working on making it available in another format.  I'll keep you updated on it.
4. The last small quilt on the right is Home at Last my quilt currently featured on the cover of Quilts & More Magazine.
