In 2012 I made my first Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. It was the first year we were not having our daughters home at Christmas time so I had time in December to keep up on the clues. I finished the top right on time according to the mystery, but as to the quilting.... The top languished in my quilt top cupboard since then. In September I pulled it out and quilted it. I already had the backing with it. It took me another month to sit down and stitch down the binding, but the quilt is now finished!! I love it! I need to steam the binding a bit and take some better photos but I threw it up on my design wall with a lot of pins to get a photo.

Here is the finished baby girl quilt for the twins. My daughter is in preterm labor and in the hospital but the babies are doing well so far, my daughter is just very bored having to stay in bed. She is 32 weeks now, and we are hoping they babies stay in a little longer.

On October 14, my older daughter hosted a baby shower at her home for the twins. My husband and I took my mom down (six hours each way) and had a great time. Here is Lisa after she opened the two baby quilts! She had already seen them (and had picked the fabrics!). Just a few days later Lisa went into the hospital!
I went to a large quilt show in Spokane, WA this past weekend and really enjoyed myself. It was overwhelming with over 500 quilts! I only bought one Hoffman Spectrum panel and a pattern. I did deliver 4 quilt tops to be quilted to a longarm quilter, getting them finished will feel good. They are old ones in my stash that I just didn't feel like quilting myself.
