Everything but Jeb Bush!
I will have to post the picture that I used for this design. It was a stained glass pattern named 'Everything Florida except Jeb Bush'. Jeb Bush was the Governor at the time so that dates the creation of this quilt. I am trying to do some 3 dimensional work on it by creating the turtle, alligator, egret and such as stand alone appliqué items and then embroidering them on. We shall see....
I guess this one should be moved to the top of the pile since Christmas is less than 2 months away! Part of the hesitation is that I really do not have a place to hang it! But, she is beautiful and I should make a place. Actually, I should be hanging these holiday quilts in Mike's office since it is front and center and he already has a quilt there. But, I must finish it first!

Season of Trees
I love this quilt! I love crazy quilting...and I actually have this kit. I have completed the first block and hope to someday complete all the rest. I have the second block pieced and hopefully I can take it on our next car trip and do a lot of the embellishing. The quilt is huge and will take a very long time to complete...considering how many other projects you will see here!
This is my first block...almost completed. But, is a crazy quilt ever completed? There is always one more button, just a little more embellishment and so on and so on....
