A Latte Quilts - Lattes and a Lota Quilts

My Dear Sister-in-Law introduced me to quilting in 1992 and taught me all the basics. I didn't really get totally involved in quilting until 1998. Quilting is my "happy place" in a sometimes crazy world. My Dear Husband introduced me to coffee in 1992 (1992 was a great year!) and we've enjoyed many "happy cups" together. Now, I enjoy coffee and quilts and when I can have them together.....that's the best of times, especially when shared with loved ones.

Update....

on the Hopscotch Quilt: 18 blocks hand quilted (as well as the sashing around them). I've been doing just about nothing else, and I'm really pleased with the progress. Here is a pic of part of the quilt. Hopefully, clicking on the pic will enlarge it so you can see the quilting. Simple pattern, simple quilting. :)

And, yesterday, I made the backing for the Spider Web Quilt. I think that will be my next top to transform. Of course, I may change my mind, as I've been known to do. LOL

I also found a couple of items I've had around here for a while and I'd like to share them. So, I am hoping to have a give away sometime soon. So keep your eyes open!

And, for Judith, who asked for the crumbs....they are on the way. I mailed them last Thursday. I also added in a bit of "Texas" and some chocolate. Hope it doesn't take three weeks! :)

Happy Quilting!!!!!!!!!!!!
