Cover Girl...Late, but Here

Yes, that's me...a Cover Girl...but as usual I'm a bit behind...I had every intention of posting my picture of the Ashcombe quilt that I sewed for Carrie of Miss Rosie fame, but I was in Birmingham visiting Hampton and Camden and I couldn't get on their network...both Josh and Katie tried and tried but we just couldn't get it. They have recently switched over to U Verse and for some reason it just wouldn't let my little computer in. I could have done my post on Josh's computer, but there wouldn't have been a picture...and that just wouldn't have been any fun...OK, I'll stop blabbering and show you the picture. I had an absolute blast doing this quilt for Carrie...Carrie is such a clever girl...this pattern gives the directions to do the quilt with a layer cake like Darlene's and with Honey Buns like mine. As always, Carrie's directions were wonderful...you are going to love this pattern!

I spent some time in my storage room today going through yardage and fat quarters...I'll be back tomorrow with some "destashing" (that's Darlene's blog title and I loved it...thanks Darlene!)

I like the quilt very much. An interesting version of using rail fence blocks. So now you are Darlene are Cover Girls. What's next?

Just lovely! I'm very interesting about Carrie's new book. Your quilts are gorgeous as hers. :-)

WooHoo - there you are!

I think Kelly used De-Stashing before I did. It's a perfect word. I have lots more to do.

Okay now THAT is a cool quilt. Looking forward to some snaps of Hampton and Camden, too.

Never too late to share a great quilt and I think a pat on the back for a job well done is in order. How nice to be asked to do this for Carrie, but also a good deal for Carrie to have quilters who are willing to do this for her!

Great quilt Carol. You did a great job.

It's lovely, and isn't it interesting how different 2 quilts look, even when they started from the same point?

Diane said...
