Hi Joyce! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. To answer your question, all of the quilts are mine! My friend, who has a longarm, only does quilts for friends and the occasional customer. She also works full time!
Lovely quilt!
Hi Joyce! Thanks for your comment about my pincushion! I'm sure I'll have quite a collection one day but for now this is the first handmade one. Your quilt is beautiful! So bright and cheerful! :0)
