First, let me start off by saying, yes, I do still blog here. I’ve been crazy busy with custom orders, and I’m showing you one of those today. One of my very best customers asked me to make her a quilt with the same zoo fabric featured in this quilt. She loved that print, but...

I think this turned out fabulous!! I am still in the hesitant phase of quilt making. I have an idea for a quilt for my oldest and some fabric, but am still gearing up for the cutting and pairing part. You’ve inspired me since yours is so beautiful. I might even add some embroidery. Fantastic job!!
Beautiful Meredith!
I had to come over from Flickr when I saw this quilt and read the blog post, it’s such a beautiful quilt! I bet your friend was over the moon with it :D
Thank you, Sarah! She really liked it. :)
