Para Para Quilt #3 – Spirited Version – Quilt Reveal

  I’ll be talking about the Para Para quilt today. This one has sat unfinished since February/March.

Work in Progress – Para Para Quilt – Finished Quilt Top

  Last week I finished my first Para Para quilt top.  Finally!  Y’all, I have been dreaming about this quilt since early 2019 and now that I’ve finished it, well, finished the top, I am ecstatic.  I’m already dreaming up the next one. I should be quilting her up in the next day or two…

A few little snapshots from Chapter 1 💛 Everythin A few little snapshots from Chapter 1 💛Everything is pressed, cut, organized, and ready to sew.
