No one in my family pays much attention to my blog, so I can pretty much post just about anything, and no one knows the better. Cool huh?!
I finished my shortcake quilt over a year ago. She has been hanging in my closet, just waiting her turn to be quilted.
Whenever our daughter Katie comes to visit, she peeks behind the door to see if "her quilt" is still there.
Little does she know, it is not! As a matter of fact, it is en route to the quilter, to be beautifully quilted just for her!
It will be so difficult for me to wait until Christmas morning to gift Katie her quilt. I will have to exercise self control, otherwise she may end up receiving it much sooner.
Oh boy, and I have to share this amazing score with you. Several months ago, I was able to find 5 yards of Pam Kitty Morning fabric on sale at 50% off!! This is now the shortcake quilt backing. Yay! :o)
Fat Quarter Shop has a sale page and the prices drop as low as 50%! Be sure and check it out!
It pays to save your money and wait for just the right price. Sometimes it take a little bit longer. But quilting can get expensive and I can't justify putting my family into debt. So often times, things are slow coming. Which is ok. I tend to appreciate them more. wink!ps. Sorry for the wrinkly quilt shots. I took it out of the closet for a quick photo shoot before mailing off.
Sometimes I am a little sad that more of my family members do not check in on my blog, but when I get to post about gifts in advance of giving them, I no longer mind! haha.

Your quilt is gorgeous! I love the design and the colors. I laughed when you said that your family doesn't read your blog.....either does mine!!! I just don't know why they aren't fascinated with it! Lol. I love how your daughter peeks behind the closet door to see if her quilt is still there. Too cute!
