WIP and a Giveaway!

I have to say that it's been a little hard to resist working with the Sweet as Honey fabrics from Bonnie Christine, and it's not hard to see why. This fabric collection is absolutely divine! So as usual I have lots on my plate, and even more on my cutting table. Some things I can show you now and some things have to wait a bit until it can be "officially announced". ... here's my latest work in progress (wip)... almost finished. ...and as for the giveaway, be sure to stop by Jolijou's blog for all the details and leave a comment with her to win a "Sweet as Honey" Fat Quarter set.

In fact I have two other quilt projects in the process in addition to my first two! I know, I know, not the best way to start out, but I have made significant progress with all of them. This pattern is from fabric and quilt designer, Camille Roskelley. If you are looking to start quilting, let me highly recommend her patterns... simple and straight to the point without...
