Finished!


My Bits of Baltimore auction donation is finished and will be in the mail this afternoon!!!  Click on the link below for more info...

http://www.baltimoreapplique.com/bitsofbaltimore.html

You would all like some photos of my block.  It is completely untraditional and features fabrics hand dyed by Sharon Schamber and my husband.  
It took me 6 months of weekends and evenings to complete. It's the first piece I have hand quilted in almost 10 years.  I hope it raises lots of cash for a great cause!

Until next time...
