Fall Into Fall Quilt Giveaway



I've just spent the last two days frogging all the quilting that I put into this three year UFO.
The thread kept breaking and so I decided to frog it and start over, oh well it's good practice.





I'm working on my UFO's. Wish me luck!

I have just started to get into foundation piecing and I think this book would be a delight. Please include me as an entry.

I haven't posted many quilts lately due to camera issues, but do every once in a while and will after I get a new camera. But please feel free to check out my book reviews to see if you find an interest.
