This quilt was made in 2008 for my son, Jarrad, and his wife, Andrea. It is a quilt from quiltville by Bonnie Hunter. I was looking for a quilt pattern to make them a quilt, and the name on this one was perfect, they just got married in 2007. I love this quilt. Of course, since I am so into red, it is filled with red.

Saturday morning
It is eary in the morning, time to go to work. I have been sewing since I was 16, trying different things, but about 3 years ago, fell in love with quilting. I am self taught, so still learning a lot.
It it so wonderful to complete a quilt from start to finish, I just love it.
I finished a quilt for my mom and stepfather for Christmas. It was a pattern from Eleanor Burns. I love her way of quilting. will post a pic soon. Earlier this last year, I completed a quilt for son and bride with one of Bonnie's patterns, Jared takes a wife. They were both beautiful quilts.
So, this new mystery for New Year's on Bonnie's site, www.quiltville.com, is now the newest of my quilting projects. I also have ordered some fabric from Connecting Threads to make a flying geese quilt for my dad. Can't wait for these to come in. With the holidays, it won't be in until Monday. What a bummer, but you can better believe on Monday, I will surely be waiting for that package. I just love fabric, the touch, the feel, the smell. Just being around fabric calms me! How weird is that! Do you feel the same. Let me know.
Well, really have to get to work. The good thing is, it's Saturday, YEAH!....lots of sewing tonight and tomorrow. Wishing you a wonderful day,.........Cindy

First Post
January 2,2009
This is my first post. I am nervous, and excited all at the same time. The name, dreams of quilting, was chosen because this is all that I dream of all day, dream about all night. I just
can't seem to get enough. I even put off doing chores, then of course at a certain time and point
the chores have to get done. I work as a rural mail carrier. So I don't get to sew all the time, however, I manage to get 2-3 hours in the evening, I will also get up an extra hour in the morning, yes, just to sew........If I don't have any time, just sitting in my sewing area seems to give me a calm, close feeling. My family has become accustomed to my obession.
Thanks for visiting. Will blog more later......Cindy
