Yesterday I filled another large order from a shop in Madison WI–Stitcher’s Crossing.  They made samples of Boxed Blessings and have gone through hundreds of patterns!  A huge thank you to them for putting together their own samples!  

  This is such an easy pattern that really shows fabrics well.  A fast quilt for the more advanced quilter and a great beginner quilt for those who have never done a quilt. 

Yes I think you should all try a quilt!  What a gift for you and your family.  However, my thinking is if you put in the time to make one, you better use it, use it!  Nothing like cuddling up in a well worn quilt in the fall. 

On another note…Tony’s birthday is coming up on Thursday.  hmmm…better start thinking about what I am going to do to make the day special.  I already have a little gift, but I’m thinking I should do something out of the ordinary.  Maybe a home style massage…I’m way cheaper than a professional and I make a mean massage table out of the coffee table and blankets. 

Weather is getting cooler here–love it!
